THE HOT LOVIN’ JAZZ BABIES is a high-powered swing ensemble based in Portland, Oregon featuring Doug Sammons and Dee Settlemier, front persons for the long-time Portland swing band the Midnight Serenaders.  The group was put together at the beginning of 2015 specifically for the Secret Society’s(Portland's former premier dance club) Thursday Swing night series, and has since become a favorite of Portland’s swing dance community.  The Hot Lovin' Jazz Babies strive to resurrect the spirit of late 1930’s small band ensembles such as Fats Waller & his Rhythm, Teddy Wilson and his Orchestra and Billy Holiday and her Orchestra.  The group has a monthly residency at the Alberta Street Public House in Portland, OR, and perform at other Portland area dance clubs.  They have also been featured at past Portland Lindy Exchanges.  The 7-piece band features Dee Settlemier on drums/vocals, Doug Sammons on guitar/vocals, Pete Lampe on bass, John Moak on trombone, David Evans on sax/clarinet, Garner Pruitt on trumpet, and Andrew Oliver on piano.
