The band gets a lot of its strength from Ernest and Marion Johnson. They are the parents of the four Johnson brothers: Steven "Coolbone", Ernest Jr., Ronell and Darryl. What a joy to find a group such as this, with the groove of the older members and the fire of the younger players. Throughout this recording, you will hear musical quotes paying tribute to the great pieces of music that The Coolbone Brass Band members grew up listening to and learning to play. Do not fail to take notes while listening, there will be a quiz later! The Coolbone Swing Troop is the latest in the expanding New Orleans music scene. A septet that plays original compositions of the group members. Again, there is new music coming from New Orleans. There is nothing wrong with recording the jazz classics over and over again, but, it is great to know that the well is not "running dry!" Some of the material will remind the experienced jazz listener of tunes and groups of the past forty years. The new jazz fans may be motivated to expand their musical inventory to include some of the seminal music influences like Louis Armstrong, Miles and Dizzy, Lee Morgan, The Jazz Crusaders and many of the other founders of the American music form: Jazz! In these recordings, you will hear The Swing Troop pay their respects to many of the pioneers of jazz. The spirit and feel of new ideas by players who love the music.
