The Last Of The International Playboys

The Last Of The International Playboys was formed in the early 1990s by German accordionist/bassoonist (and songwriter) Walter Kuehr, then a recent emigre to New York and originally consisted of a handful of musicians. Added horns and a vocalist just as the swing resurgence began, though they've steered clear of that trend for the most part, opting instead for Euro-flavored spy music, Latin dance grooves and Rat Pack hits. Band members: Walter Kueher, Mark Giammario, Steve Bloom, Chris Washburn, Craig Rivers, Guido Gonzalez, Mark Palermo, Jennifer Vincent, Memo Acevedo
