The Harlem Hamfats - Let's Get Drunk and Truck (2018)

The American musical group Harlem Hamfats was formed in the 1930s as a studio project initiated by record producer Mayo Williams. The core concept behind the ensemble was to merge elements of rural blues with dynamic, sophisticated urban jazz.

The band's repertoire was primarily built upon session recordings made for Decca Records between 1936 and 1937. The group's sound was defined by its danceable rhythms, catchy melodic hooks, and lively performance style. Their signature piece, The Weed Smoker's Dream, stands out as a core track in this 15-song collection. The music of Harlem Hamfats retains its infectious energy, representing a striking example of early swing and viper jazz.
