Sometimes rockabilly-touting Stray Cats member Brian Setzer's big band revival reaches full throttle on this high-energy release, where rockabilly flair meets swing-era showmanship. 'Gettin' in the Mood' kicks off with a playful nod to Glenn Miller's 'In the Mood', reworking it into a brass-laden dancefloor shaker. Elsewhere, Setzer tackles 'Mack the Knife' with effortless swagger, his sharp guitar licks cutting through bold horn arrangements. The collection thrives on its ability to modernise the big band sound without losing its vintage charm, fusing the finesse of jazz standards with the drive of rock & roll. Brian Setzer's big band revival strikes an electrifying balance between rockabilly grit and the exuberance of swing-era showmanship. Opening with a fresh take on Glenn Miller's 'In the Mood', Setzer transforms the iconic brass-heavy tune into a high-energy anthem, infused with his trademark guitar swagger. It's a bold reinterpretation that never lets up. On 'Mack the Knife', Setzer's precise guitar licks cut through the brash brass arrangements with the kind of effortless cool that's become his signature. But it's not just a nostalgia tripihe brings a contemporary edge to these swing standards, revamping them without losing their original flair. Tracks like 'Gettin' in the Mood' highlight Setzer's uncanny ability to update the sound of a bygone era, blending vintage swagger with a rock & roll punch. The result is an album that fuses the sophistication of big band jazz with the raw energy of rockabilly.
