ButchSOct 5, 2002While not a carbon copy of 1998's "The Dirty Boogie", I really don't think it was meant to be. It has somewhat of a harder edge in some places. Overall, if you're first BSO CD was "The Dirty Boogie", then this should be your second. I found it full of energy. It's just great stuff.

On one hand, Vavoom! has the same can't-sit-still energy and brilliant musicianship of the 17-piece orchestra's previous efforts... But it sometimes seems as if Vavoom! goes a little too far in its attempt to sound experimental and break new ground in updated big band music.

Despite his always dead-on guitar playing and decent set of pipes, Setzer pens original material that tends toward repetition. Couple that with a rather pedestrian "Mack The Knife"... and "Vavoom!" comes across as listenable, but ultimately forgettable
