Want to know what Redhot sounds like? Click the links below for the best vocal jazz around. The songs' origins are described, so you know a bit more about what we sing.

Everybody's Doin' It
    Based on a country-rock song performed by Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen on their 1973 album Country Casanova, this is a fun and upbeat arrangement with a few inventive twists.

Loverman
    Billie Holiday popularized this classic in the late 1940s, and it became a standard in any jazz musician's repertoire.

Man Come Into Egypt
   Listening to the arrangement, one might believe that this is a spiritual from the antebellum South; not so. Actually, "Man Come Into Egypt" is a folk song first performed by Peter, Paul and Mary.

The Rhythm Medley
   All-time favorites "Fascinatin' Rhythm," "I Got Rhythm," "Spreadin' Rhythm Around," and "It Don't Mean a Thing" are interwoven to form this intricate medley.

Scotch and Soda
   Though "Scotch and Soda" is widely known as a Kingston Trio song, its writer remains unknown. It stands at the intersection of jazz, folk, and blues.

Summertime
   This lullaby, from Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess, is one of the most beloved songs of the 20th century. Our version is unlike any you have heard, however. Redhot & Blue's signature arrangement of the piece, successively sultry, aggressive, passionate and introspective, captures the feeling of a brilliant summer thunderstorm.
