Sabertooth Swing excels at bringing a fun experience and enhancing it with musical overtones that enrich their sound with beautiful jazz idioms that can be either be a source of exciting dancing or serious listening. The group is composed of musicians of various origin and musical background, with influences stretching from French chansons, folk & bluegrass, new wave and reggae with, of course, much love and respect for New Orleans’ own musical heritage. The seeds for Songs of Future Past were planted after a show a couple of years back, when Sabertooth Swing found themselves playing a dance in a New Orleans juke joint. It was a late, sweaty night of dancing. The band had paired up with a noted local blues act, and for the occasion, had prepared a setlist of tunes with slower tempos. These tunes had a decidedly bluer characteristic, with a distinct air of melancholy and wanderlust. After this event, an album of this material felt inevitable. Additionally, the band wanted to explore the possibilities for reimagining new songs with a classic touch. Songs of Future Past is available worldwide from Slammin Media and distributed worldwide by Believe Distribution.       Artist Title Time           Sabertooth Swing Frankie & Johnny 04:07       Sabertooth Swing Blue Skies 04:56       Sabertooth Swing How Deep is the Ocean 04:36       Sabertooth Swing Chocolate Jesus 03:36       Sabertooth Swing Lawn Boy 03:39       Sabertooth Swing Atlanta Blues 03:41     Attachments   Biography ..
