Doug Haining and the Twin Cities Seven, who by name are a group of musicians with passion, feeling, and respect for American Jazz History. In this new century, inspired by Basie, Ellington, and the composers of the American Ballad, Haining and the Twin City Seven extract the richness from a series of eleven themes.

Dig, if you will, the Twin Cities Seven and their sense of time and space. Check the way the group and its soloists squeeze the juice from each note and melodic line. Listen! And you will hear how instruments can sing while the rhythm section swings subtly with the brass and horns riding over.... I suggest these instrumental performances - ballads and blues - will conjure up visions of Bill Basie, "Sweets" Edison, Lester, Jimmy Rushing, The Duke, Hoagy, and all the composers and arrangers behind the scenes.

I Swing... Therefore I Am The debut recording by Doug Haining and the Twin Cities Seven. "This album offers an ample sample of splendid, communal small-group swing in the grand tradition of Count Basie's Kansas City Seven and Duke Ellington's sideman ensembles. The recording itself is gorgeous in the old-fashioned manner, with everybody in the same room, recording the same song at the same time. His spare, skillful three-horn arrangements very gently tweak such old warhorses as Taps Miller and a happily-driving I Never Knew." – Tom Surowicz (Minneapolis Star Tribune) CD Price: $14.97
