ORIGINS & INFLUENCES
The story of Little Kim & the Alley Apple 3 begins with an ad in the music section of Den Artiest. By the end of 2005 Kimberly (vocals) was looking for a new musical project … in the tradition of the great female performers of the hot jazz era, like: Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Blossom Dearie, Kay Starr, The Boswell Sisters, Bessie Smith, Mildred Bailey, …
By the time Tom (Guitar) answered her ad … he had already gathered around two fine musicians: the boy wonder of the lap steel guitar Pat Cattoir & the man with a plan Slappin Slim (Bull Fiddle). Their intention was to go on the road with self written material … in a traditional honky tonk style … the kind Hank Williams would have liked.
When Kimberly and the gang finally met on a cold and windy winter evening, you could tell … there was an immediate spark of inspiration between the four … a spark that hasnt dimmed since …
ORIGINALS & TRADITIONALS
The outcome was obvious … cause what do you get when you mix twenties styled hot jazz vocals and honky tonk? Thats right: Western Swing!
Gradually, Little Kim & the Alley Apple 3 developed their own unique style … a nice mixture of western swing, hot club and old fashioned twenties hot jazz n cool swing. Originals and traditionals, played like they were meant to be played: no frills, no gimmicks, no drums, … Just pure melodies you cant seem to get out of your head.
