Swing Patrol plays a swinging variety of great tunes inspired by the Swing Era. In particular, it strives for the sound of the 1930’s/40’s small groups with a good dose of Dixieland mixed in as well. In the Spirit of the Benny Goodman Sextet, Count Basie and Louise Jordan, Swing Patrol keeps swing alive! Swing Patrol is also the name of Scott’s newest CD, Dennis Mersmann at MuzikReviews.com gives it four stars out of five: “Swing Patrol is an exceptional album.” …”Each track deserves to be listened to once for every musician playing to fully appreciate what each is doing”.
