Uptown Drifters
Swing Band
Album Cover. The Title will be "Recollections In Swing".
We play various types of swing music that covers country, jazz and pop. This project covers some Bob Wills, Willie Nelson, Hank Thompson and Cindy Walker, among others. I'd like for it to somehow give a nod to these artists as they were all very influential in the development of our style. I'd like it to look retro, but hip retro (if that makes sense).
I've included stock photos of the artists I mentioned above along with some album covers I like. I also included our logo, which could be included, however, we used it prominently on our first album cover (also included).
