BOOGIE
California Boogie EP (2017)
"California Boogie", the debut EP from the Alpha Rhythm Kings, showcases the swinging group paying homage to some of their musical heroes.
The opening number, "Oh Marie", is a brand new arrangement of the classic Italian song, reminiscent of the late great Louis Prima.
Next is the title track, "California Boogie", an original song inspired by Latino-American 1940's swing artist Don Tosti.
"Something For Sellers", named in honor of actor Peter Sellers, is a cover of the vintage lounge cha-cha from Henry Mancini's "Pink Panther" soundtrack.
Finishing out the EP is "Boo Woo Woo", a classic boogie-woogie number originally recorded by legendary trumpeter Harry James under the title "Boo Woo".
