Origins & Influences


ORIGINS & INFLUENCES


The story of “Little Kim & the Alley Apple 3” begins with an ad in the music section of “Den Artiest”. By the end of 2007 Kimberly (vocals) was looking for a new musical project ... in the tradition of the great female performers of the hot jazz era, like: Kay Star, Billie Holiday, Maxine Sullivan, Mildred Bailey, the Boswell Sisters, ...


By the time Tom (Guitar) answered her ad ... he had already gathered around two fine musicians: the boy wonder of the lap steel guitar Pat Cattoir & the man with a plan Slappin’ Slim (Bull Fiddle). Their intention was to go on the road with self written material ... in a traditional honky tonk style ... the kind Hank Williams would have liked.


When Kimberly and the gang finally met on a cold and windy winter evening, you could tell ... there was an immediate spark of inspiration between the four ... a spark that hasn’t dimmed since ...

Originals & Traditionals


ORIGINALS & TRADITIONALS


The outcome was obvious ... ‘cause what do you get when you mix twenties styled hot jazz vocals and honky tonk? That’s right: Western Swing!


Gradually, “Little Kim & the Alley Apple 3” developed their own unique style ... a nice mixture of western swing, hot club and old fashioned twenties hot jazz ’n cool swing. Originals and traditionals, played like they were meant to be played: no frills, no gimmicks, no drums, ... Just pure melodies you can’t seem to get out of your head.
