I've bought the CD to prove it. The lead singer in international Jazz Band
Trunk Show Aileen Loy has the deepest voice I've ever heard on a woman - I think she could sing anything Louis Armstrong released... She was even deeper than the male singers in the band. And when I spoke to her in a break between sets her speaking voice was just as deep and gravely. They did a lot of their own music and covers of Tom Waits arranged for their style. Their rendition of Chocolate Jesus was AMAZING. So pleased I heard these guys live. While a great recording, their show was everything - style, attitude, music, vocals. They used a milk pail and whip as part of the percussion section. Other instruments included two rythmn guitars, base drum, sax, tamborine and skull headed canasters.
