My favourite CD in the late 90s that I played non stop was “Jive’s Alive”. I had no clue that years later Big Rude Jake who was on that CD would later become a friend. Beautiful celebration of life today for Jake. So sad he is gone 😞 #1990s#swingrevival#bigrudejake
one of fav Jake bands..Tennessee Voodoo Coupe at the Dakota. He could fill a dance floor every single time with his music. What a loss for the world of music and for all of his who called him a friend.
My deepest condolences to his wonderful family ❤️ #bigrudejake#fuckcancer
I wish I didn’t have an excuse to be recording this tune today, but Toronto’s reigning jazz hipster #BigRudeJake just perished of cancer & his musical legacy is well worth celebrating: here’s #Sliverman from his wild ‘96 album #BluePariah.
