Apollo Trio - Straightaway - Music & Performance - CD

The apollo trio straightaway the apollo trio-hep, fun, upbeat jazz, swing. From the croon to the thump, it's a heart that moves. The story of vocalist and bandleader james apollo is as remarkable as any who perseveres against abject adversity. From a small frontier town, apollo would wait at the gate, watching bands come and go. It wasn't long before his own band the apollo trio was running on the same circuit, bringing a new take on american jazz and swing to a restless generation. The road proved dangerously fruitful, with the boys getting an education in the rigors of constant travel and the colorful side of club life. That spark materializes in the apollo trio's performances. A modern take on a timeless style means shows are bringing smiles to patron's faces long after the curtain falls. It's no surprise the apollo trio has gained a well deserved renowned for their hepped up, honest and eccentric interpretation of the great american songbook.
