I saw them at the Elkhart (Indiana) festival last year. I enjoyed them. Good players with a lot of showmanship including tap dancing with almost every number. If it increases the audience for OKOM by causing people to look up the musicians whose works they
are interpreting, it can't hurt. They're an entry level group, but as someone who has been listening to OKOM for over 50 years, I thought they were fun.</div>

<div>Is it OKOM? I'd say yes. Is it MKOM? Too vocal oriented, even though Miss Bougerol is a good singer. I was not too keen on the clowning on "Bei Mier Bist Du Schoen," but it hardly affected the quality of playing.</div>

Dear Listmates,<br>
A mate who likes jazz sent me the following YouTube video with the comment, "A great little video! The jazz isn't too bad either."<br>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4-XIKt-ADs" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4-XIKt-ADs</a><br>
For some reason, I have never heard of the group so checked out its other 'special' videos and several club performances.
<br>
And also turned up the following background information:<br>
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hot_Sardines" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hot_Sardines</a><br>
Are they, what our US DJLMers would refer to, as "Out of left field"?<br>
Is it OKOM?<br>
Just wondering.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Bill.<br>
