“Stompy Jones band leader David Rose interviewed on KQED California report about his original San Francisco song, "New Direction"”

“Delivers some jumpin', hard shufflin' blues-imbued swing sounds.”

“The best small band sound I've heard in years!”

“Red hot cool.”

“This ain't the stuff of highfalutin' society gigs. Instead it's the after-hours sound -- like the Kansas City Five's famed wee-hour jams.”

“More jump than a kangaroo convention.”

“Authentic...brimming with precision and heart.”

“Stompy Jones (the San Francisco-based jumping rhythm & blues sextet) performed at the David Patrone $10,000 Swing Dance Spectacular in the Dreamcatcher Showroom at Viejas Casino on Sunday night, and they had the dance floor jam-packed for every single song. And with good reason. No other band in the world has such an innate understanding of the sound, rhythm and presentation of 1940's small band rhythm and blues, the music that bridged the gap between big band swing and rock and roll. This is almost entirely due to the voracious, almost obsessive attention to detail paid by Stompy Jones founder and bassist “Little” David Rose.”
