{"product_id":"squirrel-nut-zippers-hot-lp","title":"Squirrel Nut Zippers - HOT (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs the title of their second record implies, the Squirrel Nut Zippers practice a modern variant of the \"hot\" jazz sound of the 1920s and '30s. While the Zippers have a well-developed sense of humor (as evidenced on tracks like \"Bad Businessman\") and a lighthearted feel, they never cross over into camp, thus avoiding the self-conscious dead end that has been the downfall of so many '90s \"loungecore\" bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other important fact separating the Squirrel Nut Zippers from the faux-jazz pack is that they can really play their instruments. Vocalist\/multi-instrumentalist Tom Maxwell handles guitar, baritone sax and clarinet with equal aplomb, and his bandmates' contributions on banjo, piano, ukulele and various other instruments betrays a musicianship that transcends any purist fears about inauthenticity. The vocal duties on HOT are shared by Maxwell, Jim Mathus and Katharine Whalen, all of whom lend a distinctive personality to the proceedings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSquirrel Nut Zippers: Jim Mathus (vocals, guitar, tenor banjo, piano); Tom Maxwell (vocals, guitar, baritone saxophone, clarinet, resonator, chandelier); Katherine Whalen (vocals, banjo, baritone ukulele); Ken Mosher (guitar, alto \u0026amp; baritone saxophones, baritone ukulele, vocals); Don Raleigh (acoustic bass, gong); Chris Phillips (drums, percussion, spoken vocals).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Andrew Bird (violin); Duke Heitger (cornet).
