Christabel & The Jons are kickin' it old school, with a Depression era Swing sound that I found most closely resembled a cross between The Squirrel Nut Zippers and Leon Redbone. Combining Folk, Blues, and Hot Jazz, this band has been playing their unique blend since 2005. Lead singer Christa DeCicco sings with a smooth and easy voice, fully dripping with the requisite charm, humor, and sex appeal to make the whole thing work.
At the moment, only 3 songs from the upcoming Christmas album are available for preview on Bandcamp. But those three songs are quite encouraging. "Best Kind of Friend" swings like something from a 1930 Speakeasy. "It Won't Cool Off" has a very nice easy jazz flavor, with just a touch of Hawaiian guitar. "Silent Night" sways more than swings, with its fresh, almost waltz like, arrangement. The rest of the set is familiar, yet diverse, and you should have little problem imagining the band tackling them. "The Christmas Album" is scheduled for release on December 1.
