    Who kicked off the swing revival in the mid-90s? Big Bad Voodoo Daddy! BBVD combines the sensibility of legendary big bands and orchestras with a nod to New Orleans to bring you pumped-up swing! Reminiscent of old time big bands, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is hip enough for your daddy, your teens, and your iPod. 'I've never thought of our music as retro,' says singer-songwriter-guitarist Scotty Morris, leader of (BBVD), the little big band that helped define the lounge scene, as featured in the hit film Swingers. 'We're an alternative to retro. We're high-octane, nitro, jive-loud, wild, total edge.' In 1995, BBVD was already a staple on the underground Hollywood club scene when actor-friend Jon Favreau, who hung out at the band's Wednesday night appearances at the Derby, told Morris, 'I wrote a movie. Are you interested in being in it?' Morris read the script, which, as he puts it, 'was very much the sort of life we were all living.'
