The Dec.18 premiere of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' is causing quite a furor all over America, and even here in Louisiana! We are so lucky to have great music here in the Bayou State, and our friends in the Swamp Donkeys, a  jazz quintet out of New Orleans, are really, really into the Star Wars vibe these days. So much so, that they did a jazz cover version of the famous John Williams Star Wars theme 'Far, Far Away'.

The Swamp Donkeys are comprised of band-members Haruka Kikucki on trombone, Miles Lyons on sousaphone, Josh "Jams" Marotta on percussion, Connor Stewart on saxophone, and James Williams on trumpet. The video for this galactic awesomeness was recorded at Marigny Studios in New Orleans. It's pretty awesome, watch above, and May the Force Be With You.....
