A great album for you swingsters!

This is the debut and only existing album of Vargas Swing I know. Vargas Swing was a St. Louis based group that was starting to get recognition nationally and started touring but fell victim to the swing craze dying out.
The group continued to perform as Vargas with a new group of musicians and original members Dawn Weber and Mo Egeston. Vargas performed a mix various genres of music including Latin and R&B music but eventually fell off the music scene. Maybe this is due to the simple economics since many horn bands have disappeared. The majority of their repertoire were originals written by Weber and Egeston. If they are still around can catch an ocassional performance I highly recommend you check them out. The musicianship of this band was amazing.
