Ray Collins' Hot Club • Honk My Horn

 

Imagine a band which could play to perfection a mixture of 40 and 50' s Jump-blues, swing, jive and of rock' roll with authenticity and an overflowing energy while developing their own style and composing some solid songs. A band which could set a ballroom on fire with only the first bars of a brass section. Imagine nine guys ready to party and make you spend an unforgettable evening and which for that will give all that they have! You think that kind a band has never existed and will never exist neither in Europe, neither in States nor in any area of the world. But I can swear to you that this band really exist (cause I saw them!) and that they just released their third album "Tohuwabohu" for Crazy Love Records. This group is "Ray Collins' Hot-Club", a german bunch of wild guys which signed their first album in 2001 -“Shaking That Boogie”- and which since became a reference.

Some bands are good in studio and disappointing on stage. Some others are just the opposite; they are great entertainers but their albums are flat and without any “fever” or “guts” whatever you call it. In this case, we are dealing with this rare species of band who are at the same time achieved showmen and which sign original albums with no fillers or tracks to be thrown away.

Imagina una banda que pueda tocar a la perfección una mezcla de Jump-blues de los años 40 y 50, swing, jive y de rock' roll con autenticidad y una energía desbordante mientras desarrolla su propio estilo y compone unas canciones sólidas. Una banda capaz de incendiar un salón de baile con sólo los primeros compases de una sección de metales. ¡Imagina a nueve tipos dispuestos a la fiesta y a hacerte pasar una velada inolvidable y que para ello darán todo lo que tienen! Crees que ese tipo de banda nunca ha existido ni existirá ni en Europa, ni en Estados Unidos ni en ninguna zona del mundo. Pero os puedo jurar que esta banda existe de verdad (¡porque los he visto!) y que acaban de sacar su tercer disco "Tohuwabohu" para Crazy Love Records. Este grupo es "Ray Collins' Hot-Club", un grupo alemán de tipos salvajes que firmó su primer álbum en 2001 - "Shaking That Boogie"- y que desde entonces se convirtió en una referencia.

Algunas bandas son buenas en el estudio y decepcionantes en el escenario. Otros son todo lo contrario; son grandes animadores pero sus discos son planos y sin ninguna "fiebre" o "agallas", como se quiera llamar. En este caso, se trata de esa rara especie de banda que es al mismo tiempo un logrado showmen y que firma discos originales sin rellenos ni temas para tirar.
