Their type of music is best described by the title of their new CD,"Jump Jazz Blues & Boogie-Woogie Ragtime Swing."
The Cool Club Quartet was started by Rick Hoyt (guitar) back before the turn of the century to play his original songs, which were in the traditions of jump jazz, blues, boogie-woogie, ragtime, swing. Tom McClure (sax, flute, clarinet) was an original member and encouraged the addition of jazz and swing standards to the repertoire. Joe Galusha has been the drummer for many years and has a wealth of experience in many genres. Multi-instrumentalist Trevor Findlay is the bass player.
Based in Geneva NY, the quartet was playing at a local club around five years ago when Marilla Lipker walked by and remarked that the music being played was similar to what she and her younger sisters Grace and Elizabeth had grown up singing. They come from a musical family and from a tender age were encouraged to sing swing classics, such as Boogie-woogie Bugle Boy by the Andrews Sisters. Marilla came to one of their jazz jams in Geneva, sounded terrific, and mentioned she had sisters! The three have been singing with the band ever since.
Favorite spots to play are Club 86 and on Linden St. in Geneva, Iron Smoke in Fairport, Lovin Cup and Three Heads Brewing in Rochester. They recently played at Dinosaur BBQ and will be back there again.
