Product Description

“Red Hot and Blue”  is the music album issued to accompany a touring musical theatre show of the same name. The cast were Marilyn Middleton and Steve Mellor’s Chicago Hoods jazz band. The story of the show centred around “The Twilight Club”, a derelict Chicago night club on the eve of its demolition. The jazz band played the ghosts of jazz musicians who had played in the club in its glory years: from 1915 to 1940. Marilyn played the owner’s grand-daughter, visiting the club for “the Twilight’s Last Gleaming” and encouraging the ghosts to play the favourite tunes of their era. These are a mixture of jazz and blues instrumentals and vocals.
