Inspired by the “ghost” of Louis Armstrong and his passion for swing music as well as the blues, we joined forces to create a band called Satchmo’s Ghost. We love music that swings, songs that have a punch to them, and are easy to dance to, and we also feel quite at home doing a blues tune or two.
Our sets always feature swing tunes like:
Minnie The Moocher- Cab Calloway
Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby- Louis Jordan
After You’ve Gone- Louis Armstrong
You & Me & The Bottle Makes 3- Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Zoot Suit Riot- Cherry Poppin’ Daddies
I Wanna Be Like You- Louis Prima
Jump Jive And Wail- Louis Prima
I Hear You Talkin’- Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys
Don’t You Just Know It- Huey “Piano” Smith
Grits & Groceries- Little Milton
Exactly Like You- Louis Armstrong
