The Doc Scanlon Quartet play I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby in Toulouse, France at Rest O'Jazz Nightclub, 12/09. Dan Levinson, Doc Scanlon, Stephane Seva and Billy Collins.

- The Doc Scanlon Trio plays hot swing jazz of the 1920's through the 1940's. Their song list includes the great standards of Gershwin, Berlin & Porter as well as the jazz of Django Reinhardt, Fats Waller and Benny Goodman. If the occasion calls for it, they also will p...lay the western swing of Bob Wills, Hank Williams and Asleep at the Wheel or the jump blues of Louis Jordan, Bill Haley and Louis Prima. This is a versatile trio with a big sound, red hot solos and tight three part harmony vocals. They are well known and respected in their home area of New York for their versatility, talent, humor and hot licks. They are equally adept at a club show, a concert setting or a dance. Doc Scanlon plays string bass and sings lead vocals on material that ranges from Fats Waller to early Bing Crosby to Jump Blues classics. Joining Doc on guitar will be Don Young, a multi-talented guitarist-vocalist who can play anything from Django style to riffin' rhythm & blues as well as being a versatile lead singer. The icing on the cake will be clarinetist Dan Levinson, one of the acknowledged masters of his instrument. Dan has and continues to tour worldwide doing his recreations of Benny Goodman, and the influences of early Jazz from Jelly Roll Morton to Artie Shaw are always apparent. Dan has also been known to pick up the tenor saxophone and fire out some ripping R&B. He has played with everyone from Wynton Marsalis to Mel Torme to Leon Redbone, and his services as a leader and frontman are always in demand.
