Brian Setzer is one of those wild musicians who keeps the Earth properly spinning on its axis — a consistent institution who you can count on while pretty much everything else comes and goes. He burst on the scene in the early '80s at the forefront of the punk-driven rockabilly revival with the "Stray Cats."

In 1990, Setzer organized the orchestra, styled as a big band which included full sections of trumpet, trombone and saxophone players and a rhythm section with Setzer on guitar and vocals, plus piano, string bass and drums.
