The Paul Tillotson Love Trio has made a cd specifically for lindy hoppers, and “Lindy Hop Blues: Live at Jelly Roll” is now available online at cdbaby.com!

Paul Tillotson, a student of the great Gene Harris, has brought the house down at swing events all over the country. In Sept of last year, he recorded a cd live at a lindy event in New York City.

The cd contains 14 songs, all great for dancing, including:
- Lindy classics such as: Satin Doll, C Jam Blues, Easy Does It, Just the Way You Look Tonight, and Blues for Stephanie
- Swingin’ interpretations of popular songs such as: Soul Swinga Nova (aka the Theme Song from Austin Powers!), Pink Panther, Blackbird (yes, the Beatles song), and Big Swinging Taxi (yes, the Joni Mitchell song)
- Paul Tillotson Originals such as: Shotgun Boogie, Lindy Hop Blues, and Dear Old Dad (a tribute to Gene Harris)

Here’s what people are saying about Paul and the cd:

“The Love Trio is a swinging musical group that I love to dance to.” – Frankie Manning

“The Love Trio’s music is so swingin’ and so beautiful that I was compelled to dance all night. This cd is a way to share – and preserve – the magical energy radiated by the Love Trio every night they play. I was lucky to be a part of that evening, and now you can too.” – Dawn Hampton (in the liner notes she wrote for the cd)

“Lindy Hop Blues captures Paul Tilloton's trio in fine form, joyfully performing familiar classics, original compositions and unexpected arrangements. Paul, Mike and James are musical brothers: comfortable, playful, intense and often mischievous. Lindy Hop Blues is a swinging masterpiece that will keep you dancing all night long!” – DJ Jesse Miner
