If It Ain’t Got That Swing was not only Duke Ellington’s motto; Andy Cooper and his Euro Top 8 have made it their own as well. The best example: the live recording made at the Rust Europapark in May 2002. Playing to an ecstatic audience, the octet offered an unsurpassed mix of Dixieland, mainstream and jump and jive, interspersed with blues classics including the saga of the legendary “C.C. Rider” in a completely new interpretation. The result is breathtaking swing, irresistible to even the most die-hard modern jazz aficionado. As Andy Cooper puts it: “Music should be fun to play. That’s the feeling I want to share with the audience.”
