"BIG KAHUNA and the Copa Cat Pack is BACK with Shake Those Hula Hips, an album that shakes and stirs the flavors of big band swing, Hawaiian songs, TV themes, Las Vegas lounge, and full-strength party music into a big, tasty, mightily swinging, musical Mai Tai. An artful arranger, masterful saxophonist, hip crooner and animated bandleader, the BIG KAHUNA (aka Matt Catingub) packs fun and excitement into each and every swinging note. This time around, BIG KAHUNA and the Copa Cat Pack put an indelible swinging stamp on the Duke Ellington classic "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing), Johnny Mercer's "And The Angels Sing (featuring Rosemary Clooney)" as well as rousing timeless anthems like "Tequila," "Hawaii Five-O" and "Princess Poo-Poo-Ly Has Plenty Papaya (featuring Debby Boone)". So spin this CD, put on your favorite Hawaiian shirt, grab a Mai Tai, and join the par-tay! It's time to Shake Those Hula Hips!"
Swingin' good music!
