The Basin Street Brawlers are not alone—a growing number of bands are intent on a similar (re) discovery of past delights, from early New Orleans to big band swing to Django Reinhardt's guitar jazz. In the UK this scene features new bands and more established groups such as the Pasadena Roof Orchestra. The Basin Street Brawlers shares members with many of these bands— Bleach and bassist Dave O'Brien also play in Man Overboard, Horsfall is in Kansas Smitty's House Band.
Each of these bands retains its own particular style and repertoire and the audience is growing. It goes to show that you can't keep a good tune down—and with the skill and irrepressible energy displayed on It's Tight Like That!, the Basin Street Brawlers provide a perfect showcase for many such tunes. As Natty Bo exclaims, "You've got to swing that music!"
