The Stolen Sweets
The Stolen Sweets formed in 2005 with the intention of reviving the songs of ‘30s New Orleans sister act, The Boswell Sisters. The “Bozzies” were popular harmony singers in the late 20s and early 30s, keeping company with the Dorsey Brothers, Bunny Berigan, and Benny Goodman -- partnerships that provided the jazz world with some of its most influential recordings. The nature of the music was auspicious and good-humored, providing a ray of hope to listeners during a truly dispiriting economic depression. Unlike the original Boswell arrangements that featured horns, the Sweets incorporate gypsy jazz, reminiscent of Django Reinhardt.
The Sweets owe a great debt of gratitude to the city of New Orleans, from which they draw much of their musical inspiration. On January 29, 2010, the Sweets became the 1st vocal jazz group ever to grace the stage at Preservation Hall, a legendary venue which is usually reserved for Dixieland and brass instrumental groups. In a career suffused with many bright lights and packed houses, this burns among the brightest for the Sweets.
