Reviews
When I first heard the name "Sweet Papa Lowdown" I could not imagine what type of music I was going to listen to. I assumed that Sweet Papa Lowdown was an old blues musician. Surprisingly I listened to young Canadian jazz musicians, playing great jazz and blues music, mixed with new elements and interesting new sounds (the mandoline and flugabone). At last a group that does not merely copy the old songs of  late jazz and blues stars! They go their own way with new arrangements, but always respecting  traditional roots. Chris Barber fits well with this Canadian band - just listen to his tailgate trombone.... Which tune is my favourite? Is it Jimmy Noone's Apex Blues or Diddy Wa Diddy? Till Times Get Better or Mean Daddy Blues? I can't say - it's all good music.
