	Brian Setzer Orchestra: The Dirty Boogie: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		But Brian Setzer's always been a forerunner of the swing movement.
		Setzer does an incredible Elvis Costello imitation on, "Since I Don't Have You," his voice oscillating as he holds out the long notes.
		And though Setzer's sound comes from the other side of the tracks, like the Karate Kid before him, Setzer retains the je ne sais quoi that attracts the Elisabeth Shues of the world.

	plug <> Brian Setzer Orchestra - Dirty Boogie
		Brian Setzer's mission in life appears to be bringing fun back into rock and roll.
		After floundering for a few years, Setzer has recently attached himself to the current swing revival with the Brian Setzer Orchestra playing jump blues and good ol' rock 'n roll with the muscle of a massive horn section.
		With this record Setzer has established himself as the dominant force of the current swing craze, but you needn't be a follower of the scene to enjoy his music.

		To "ring with swing'' in 1992, he assembled a 17-piece ensemble under the moniker of the Brian Setzer Orchestra, a rocking big band replete with brass, piano and percussion.
		The Brian Setzer Orchestra is back with a new record, "The Dirty Boogie,'' where Setzer's enthusiasm for rockabilly, his respect for the jazz greats and his infatuation with the sound of horns have coalesced.
		Setzer may never attain the heights of popularity he enjoyed in the '80s with the Stray Cats, but he feels "pretty lucky.

		And in between visits to sit in with local honky-tonk heroes, Setzer was in the studio, cutting Rockabilly Riot, Vol.
		Bernie Dresel, a Setzer Orchestra alumnus and the consummate rhythm professional, recreates the snare and single-cymbal feel that modern drummers never seem to quite figure out.
		Setzer's energy is contagious; in an intimate setting with Cash's "Get Rhythm," or following Carl Mann¹s steps in spinning "Mona Lisa" through her paces, or on a high-stylin' stroll with "Boppin' the Blues," he's having the time of his life.

	Brian Setzer Orchestra kicks (and swings)
		Brian Setzer, formerly with the once-hot rockabilly band the Stray Cats, has been leading a national swing revival during the past few years.
		According to a feature in the Boston Globe, Setzer is determined to keep the integrity of the swing sound, but he's also determined to shake things up.
		Swing music, Setzer said, was made for folks to take little pieces of it, take it somewhere else and do their own thing.

	Brian Setzer News: Live Review: Brian Setzer Orchestra in Universal City, CA >> liveDaily
		Brian Setzer (music), in fine voice and slinging his trademark Gretsch guitar, brought an old-time variety-show vibe to the Los Angeles area's Universal Amphitheater on Saturday night (12/18).
		True to the album that fueled their late-'90s breakout, the orchestra was tight and provided plenty of vaudevillian humor behind Setzer, pantomiming snow shovels with their horns in playfully choreographed segments.
		Setzer himself was in fine form, brandishing a voice that, like Bonnie Raitt's, seems to become more seasoned and smooth with age.

		The 17-piece Brian Setzer Orchestra may be the 37-year-old singer-guitarist's latest incarnation, but it's not exactly a lulling experience.
		Setzer will be the first to admit he's mellowed a bit since his Stray Cats days when he was a woman magnet who could party with the best of them.
		Setzer said a great time for him is taking his wife, Christine, and 9-year-old son Cody (from an earlier marriage) on camping trips with the Strummers (as in Joe Strummer, from the Clash).

		And he's happy, not only is life treating him well but his latest project, The Brain Setzer Orchestra, just released their second album, "Guitar Slinger," and have finally evolved to truly stand up to the pet name he's given it as a "rockin' big band."
		Setzer points out how they grill the steaks just right there and he how he himself can cook up a mean slab of meat.

		Setzer and a female lead vocalist who mesmerized the crowd with her beautiful voice and tight shirt, these kids were really very impressive.
		From there, the energy level would only increase as the band powerfully belted out song after song, Brian ran around playing his guitar while sliding on his knees, and the four trumpet players in the back row performed their synchronized sit-down-dances.
		Almost all the stunts were pulled out, as the orchestra performed covers like the all-too-popular version of Louie Prima's "Jump Jive 'N Wail," Stray Cats favorites including "Stray Cat Strut," and a whole slew of originals from their three studio efforts.

		But far from the genteel, sanitized sound that has come to define Big Band, the Brian Setzer Orchestra plumbs the sound's roots with raucous horns and improvised breaks, leading it the way he always has: with an incisive voice and a hollow-body Gretsch guitar.
