Great artist

So I (re)discovered an awesome jazz/blues band. I first listened to them on my trip to Switzerland last summer - they're a local band from Bern called the Lake Village Ramblers Jazz Band, and they just sound incredible. Their music is precise, detailed, and soulful. Their version of Tin Roof Blues (although 8 minutes long) is one of my favorites. I'm not sure if anyone can find them, since they're so small and local and foreign, but they are definitely worth checking out.
