Kit McClure Big Band - Just the Thing (The Sweethearts Project Revisited)

Kit McClure's Just the Thing (The Sweethearts Project Revisited) celebrates seven decades of women in jazz. On these up-beat tracks, McClure's all-women swing, jazz and funk band reaches back to their Swing Era sisters - the International Sweethearts of Rhythm. Just the Thing follows up McClure's 2004 release Sweethearts Project, which won praise for faithfully recreating the Sweetheart's original repertoire: "Crisp swinging enthusiasm" (NY Times); 'Both a musical and an historical event" (Village Voice); "The finest contemporary female jazz musicians strut their prodigious chops..." (All About Jazz). Now with their new release, McClure's 21st century jazz odes revisit the repertoire, adding funk, hip-hop and salsa grooves to bring the Sweethearts back to the future.
