Somebody Play The Blues For Me - Blue Plate Special

The retro-swing band Blue Plate Special formed in Los Angeles in 1994; at the time of releasing their debut single "Now Serving" early the following year, the group's line-up consisted of vocalist/guitarist Kevin Wright, pianist Ken Charlson, trumpeter Phil Topping, saxophonists Joe Martin and Derek Carver, bassist Todd Clark and drummer Adam Bankhead. A very limited 78 rpm release titled "Skin Tight" followed in mid-1995, and a few months later Blue Plate Special recorded a demo, The Taft Hotel Tapes.
