Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, an American swing revival band that emerged in the early 1990s, has carved a unique niche for itself by reviving the jazz and swing sounds of the 1940s and 1950s for contemporary audiences. Founded in Ventura, California, by frontman Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren, the band got its name from an autograph by blues legend Albert Collins. The group's fame surged after their appearance in the 1996 movie "Swingers," which propelled the swing revival movement into the mainstream.

With a discography that spans over two decades, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has consistently released albums that pay homage to the swing, jazz, and big band eras, while also infusing their music with a modern sensibility. Notable albums include "Rattle Them Bones," "Save My Soul," and a tribute to the legendary Cab Calloway, "How Big Can You Get?: The Music Of Cab Calloway." They've also celebrated the holiday spirit with albums like "It Feels Like Christmas Time" and "Everything You Want For Christmas." Their energetic performances, complete with horn-infused arrangements and a tight rhythm section, have solidified their place as swing revival stalwarts, continuing to attract fans across generations with their vibrant live shows and recordings.
