Travel back in time to the earliest days of the Jazz Age with Miss Rose & Her Rhythm Percolators. The Seattle-based quartet faithfully recreates the vintage jazz of the early 1920s to the mid '30s -- the era when this original American music provided a playful soundtrack for the flappers who danced the Charleston and sipped illicit booze in the glitzy underworld of the speakeasy. Miss Rose & Her Rhythm Percolators play well-known popular tunes that have since become part of the great American songbook and dust off forgotten gems from the early jazz era. Audiences delight at the unabashed romance, the playful humor, and the irresistible swing rhythms. Some can't help but dance or sing along. To fully transport audiences, the band members dress in period clothing, share some of the music's history and run a slideshow of art and photos from the era during performances. Singer Sunga Rose croons and strums a ukulele while the Percolators -- Holly Eckert (piano/violin), Mark Bentz (cornet/percussion) and Ericka Kendall (upright bass) -- keep time and knock out solos. Miss Rose & Her Rhythm Percolators revive for modern times a wonderful sound from a bygone era.

 RadioIndy is pleased to present Miss Rose and Her Rhythm Percolators with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Who Walks In "
"Who Walks In," the debut album from Miss Rose and Her Rhythm Percolators, captures the sound & feel of 1920’s & 1930’s popular jazz styles with a mix of 11 classics & nearly forgotten songs from the era, including wonderful takes on such generation-crossing standards as “Ain’t She Sweet” & “’Deed I Do”. Singer & ukulele-player Sunga Rose leads a spot-on 4-piece band through a repertoire of pure nostalgia. And yet, this is no museum piece. The Rhythm Percolators quartet gives these songs new life with their deft & bouyant readings, making gems like the sprightly “At the Codfish Ball” sound almost contemporary. In addition, the outstanding title song, “Who Walks In,” has a wonderful Eastern European bounce while the ballad “Shanghai Lil,” exhibiting some of Miss Rose’s best vocals, reveals as much about its era as it does the timelessness of great song craft. As the Deperession era's popular radio hits can be seen as timeless classics, Miss Rose and Her Rhythm Percolators’ excellent new release “Who Walks In” is sure to appeal to music fans looking beyond today’s hottest sounds and should definitely be given a listen to. -Rice B. and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |
