Banjo Newsletter Mar 16, 2016 5 (5/5) | Review on Swing Grass Molly Reeves has released “Swing Grass, featuring Ross Nickerson,” a collection of jazz standards like Limehouse Blues, Lady Be Good, Over the Waves (done like a New Orleans second line), and more. Reeves is a young jazz singer who obviously loves her Dixieland music; she says it was her father’s idea to do a jazz-bluegrass fusion project.
