Thanks to the largesse of Radio Station 107.1 The Peak, I won tickets to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at the Paramount Theater in Peekskill last night. The
very tight, nine-member band from New Orleans really swung, and the players’ virtuosity was clear even to this untutored ear. The band has been together 16 years and has recorded a number of albums; its latest, “How Big Can You Get?”, is devoted to the music of Cab Calloway. Among the numbers performed last night were “Minnie The Moocher”, “Go Daddy-O”, “Jumpin’ Jack”, “Zig Zaggity Woop Woop (Pt. 2)”, “I Wan’na Be Like You” (from Disney’s The Jungle Book), and “Swing, Swing, Swing”. Good show!
