Reviews

Sioux City Weekender "Forbis' tribute to a jazzier time is more lounge than it is supper club and more a dank, after hours juke joint than the Copa."
MidWest Record "Spiff up those spats, wax your mustache and give the guy at the door the secret password. This set is a riot. "
Roctober Magazine "Should be called Wil EIGHTbus, because this collection of swinging cocktail jump blues jazz... is twice as good as what they did before!"
