‘The
Cool Club & The Lipker Sisters’
Self-released
Deep
into the new, self-titled album by The Cool Club & The Lipker Sisters,
listeners may feel like they’ve time-traveled to the 1940’s. While the three
sisters, Marilla, Grace, and Elizabeth, are wailing away on “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” — a hit for The
Andrews Sisters in 1941 — The Cool Club is positively cooking behind them. The
CD contains a few more classics: “Shout Sister
Shout” by Sister Rosetta Tharpe, “Plenty of Money and You” by Harry
Warren and Al Dubin, and “I Got Rhythm” by George and Ira Gershwin.
But
mixed into the brew are 11 original songs: 10 by guitarist Rick Hoyt and one by
vocalist Marilla Gonzalez. And these new tunes fit right into that swing-era
groove. Hoyt’s guitar lights up the proceedings throughout. The excellent band
is rounded out by Tom McClure on saxophone, clarinet and flute, Joe Galusha on
drums, and Trevor Findley on bass.
The
Cool Club & The Lipker Sisters play their CD release party with Viavattine
Bros Horns on Friday, October 4, 8:30 p.m. at Iron Smoke Distillery, 111 Parce
Avenue, Suite 5B, Fairport. $5 cover; $2 from each CD sale goes to Hurricane
Dorian relief in the Bahamas. 388-7584. ironsmoketastingroom.com.
