Northfielder helps out on new Brian Setzer CD

The new CD from the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Songs from Lonely Avenue, includes Northfielders and St. Olaf Artist in Residence David Hagedorn playing the vibraphone. Hagedorn, who teaches percussion and leads the St. Olaf jazz ensembles, plays on three selections that were recorded in Minneapolis: Dead Man Incorporated, Kiss Me Deadly, and Lonely Avenue.

Hagedorn told KYMN radio that the music on the CD is reminescent of the classic Sinatra/Nelson Riddle swing sound, with an emphasis on Setzer's guitar work.
