19-Feb-04

Music Video Distributors and Inakustik are pleased to announce the home viewing release of Andy Cooper ñ Hot Jazz Festival for North American distribution on DVD.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 & 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. There should never be a dull moment when I'm performing.""
