Shaking The Blues Away

from Attractions by Cynthia Sayer

/

about

Irving Berlin’s SHAKING THE BLUES AWAY epitomizes the hot swing of the jazz era. Sayer, who recalls an archival film clip "panning a large all-woman banjo orchestra, dressed in the jazzy flapper fashion of the day, playing this tune with such strong, spirited drive," opens with Berlin’s seldom sung verse backed by the full ensemble. Sandke, Fryer, Robinson (on baritone), Pizzarelli, Cohen and Ascione all share the solo spotlight with the leader’s swinging banjo on this cooker.
