Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks were together for the first time in 15 months on June 10 for a recording session at The Power Station for Martin Scorsese’s new film. The session was engineered and produced by Grammy-award winners Stewart Lerman and Randall Poster. The Nighthawks re-created music originally recorded by the California Ramblers, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, and other bands of the Jazz Age with Loudon Wainwright III on vocals. The ’20s are back!
