VooDoo Daddy, meanwhile, has had a star run in the music scene, and is about to release a new album, "Rattle Them Bones."

In its first years, having secured their legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in Los Angeles, they reminded the world—in the middle of the grunge era, no less—that it was still cool to swing, Big-Band-style.

Today the high-energy, nine-piece ensemble continues the party and takes things to the next level with the release of "Rattle Them Bones."

The follow-up to the much lauded 2009 release, "How Big Can You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway,"  "Rattle Them Bones" urges their millions of fans worldwide to shake and move, while also expanding their horizons with new musical inspiration and influence.
