Wrong Way Charlie's Safari Adventure

The Mr. Lucky Swing Syndicate featuring Jerry Becker Holidayzed!

Jerry Becker with the North Pole City Band and Glee Club

Jerry Becker and his Mr. Lucky Swing Syndicate (not to be confused with famous San Francisco troubadour Mister Lucky) may be the biggest-hearted big band in modern pop history.

On these two CDs, Becker—a real Retro-Renaissance Man as composer, arranger, producer and performer—exhibits a suave, sophisticated, sometimes satirical, sometimes sappy sensibility in all aspects, making one wonder why he isn't as well known as fellow hep cat Brian Setzer.

Whether it's the tropical jazz of "Wrong Way Charlie's Safari Adventure" or the Latin-flavored loonyness of "Santa Said 'No Samba!'", Becker and company will take you on a swingin', sentimental safari sleigh ride through Coolsville, be it snowing or sunny.
