Them Dirty Dimes (from the album In Gold We Trust available on Dox Records)
The musical calendar for both Gijs DeGroot and Johan Stolk ended around the time that World War II began covering the globe. Finding common ground, the pair set up a musical tent in The Netherlands as Them Dirty Dimes, creating up a sonic prewar border for their sound, Them Dirty Dimes found a vast selection of music to back the tracks on their recent release, In Gold We Trust. The title track begins the song cycle for In Gold We Trust, a welcome whispered, an invitation offered, and a dance band spreading its joy. Back-alley Jazz, a melting pot of horns, rhythm, plucks and strums, Them Dirty Dimes shuffle on by choosing dancing over loving in “Bald and Alone”, bounce on an effervescent groove to promote homemade hooch for “Jake-Walk Shuffle”, and circle the world on a shuffle with “Baby in Babylon”. The piano takes the lead heading into “The Day I Met Capone (The Fats Waller Song)”, the rhythm picking up as a Saturday night at the Sherman gets a little rowdy while “Keep Diggin’” shakes and shudders on a marching beat. Them Dirty Dimes pack the dance floor with In Gold We Trust, offering some tender moments in mood and groove when relationships woes get toasted with “From Black to Blue”, sway to late-night Jazz turning Blue for “Bed & The Bottle Blues”, and lazily strum a goodbye to the album with “Passing By”.
