Oldtime jazz tunes. Creamy, sultry yet tangy.

With a nod to HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, TomCat celebrates the 1920s with indelible performances by seminal artists of the era: King and the Duke, Dippermouth and Jelly Roll, Fats, Bix, Tram and more. (Audio quality is about what you’d expect from some of the earliest jazz recordings, but the music still swings like mad.) Press play, close your eyes, and imagine you’re at Babette’s sipping bootleg Pimm’s Cup with Nucky and the cats from AC.

12 tracks from a blues dance party on a beautiful ship from 1929.
