But these revivalists couldn't stay buried for too long. Recently announcing a series of live shows, five of the group's eight founding members have dusted off their instruments -- and there are many, including banjo, bass, gongs, guitar, piano, pedal steel, sax, drums, cornet, violin, harp, and trombone.
The jazz ensemble plans to play nothing but the fans' favorites. If the shows generate enough heat, the Zippers will take their big-band grooves back into the studio.
