Swing band Royal Crown Revue is shifting into high gear this summer, readying a new disc and embarking on a diverse array of dates. Due July 20, "Walk On Fire" will be the band's debut release on their RCR Records label. The album's 10 new tracks, which draw upon the R&B and jazz ensembles of the '40s and '50s, feature the group's extensive collection of vintage instruments and recording gear. It was produced in five days in conjunction with punk rock indie SideOne/Dummy, which is home to such artists as Suicidal Tendencies and 7 Seconds.
To promote the release, Royal Crown Revue will take to the stage as part of the Vans Warped tour and the related Watcha Latin Musicfest, as well as perform at some of the premier U.S. jazz gatherings, including the JVC Jazz Festival in Concord, Calif., and the Newport Jazz Festival in Newport, R.I. In addition, the group will headline two shows with Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl Orchestra in September.
