“The results of the craft and camaraderie that went into this music speak for themselves. Sometimes, music created for dancing also makes for the best listening. And thanks to Traffic Jam! Swing, the lightning created by Jake Sanders and The Midwest All-Stars at Second City Swingout has been captured—on wax, if not in a bottle—for your listening, and dancing, pleasure.”
