"You should have heard their version of "Bei Mir Bist du Schoen"... or their version of anything else they played EVERYTHING else they played. The dancers went wild!" - Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society
"It is thrilling to see such talented young people carry the torch for the Hot Swing Jazz Genre" - Grammy Award Winner
"The Red Skunk Jipzee Swing Band is an outstanding example of how today's young musicians can perform Traditional Jazz standards in a style appreciated by their own contemporary audiences as well as the older folks who grew up with these tunes. They deserve every opportunity to perform before audiences anywhere they may be invited to play." - American Rag
"RedSkunk sounds like Django Reinhardt embodied in the spirit of a 20 year old Redheaded Spitfire." - New Times SLO
"Count me in as a huge fan of Red Skunk Jipzee Swing Band. There is no other musical group in the area quite like Molly and the gang. They capture the music of a bygone era, while making it all their own with mesmerizing vocals and first-rate musicianship." - KVEC 920 AM

Bio
The RedSkunk Jipzee Swing Band puts together a truly authentic
vintage-style sound that draws from Django Reinhardt, 30s
European Jazz, and American roots traditions. The band
has just finished recording their 3rd studio album,
Hot and Haunting, and is currently undergoing
the post-production process. In light of
this new recording, they are preparing their
live act around the album theme; a sharp
contrast between the care-free hot swing
of the 30s, and a powerful and haunting sound
which has been prevalent in the bands recordings
since Premonitions. The truly remarkable part about
this band, however, lies in their ability to transport an
audience back in time. From the moment the Skunks
walk through your door donning fur coats and retro equipment,
you will have entered a time period of authentic entertainment,
and may not want to leave.
