don't tell anyone, but these guys are hip. they broke out & broke away and you sweetly surrendered without hype without gimmicks just tight snared grooves bohemian harmony, Swing boplicity Out of the cool and into your radio's heart but don't tell anyone. the jazz police are everywhere on the lookout for in the know- so speak the silent way or it could be to late to cry after all, you gave them your ears- guilty. and i like some backstreet dealer scored bright brass filigree and satin sheets of strings for them- and we'd risk it all again for rhythmastic martin's peculiar sense of fun and andy's deviously wrong chords seen in all the right places and, yes corrine glamorous flapper head to clunky Sister shoes witht hat optimistic alto flute we call her voice...what the hell, tell everyone its the worst kept secret in the best dressed world: Swing Out Sister- they went out as moon dreams and came back as stars.
