Doc Scantlin & His Imperial Palms Orchestra REVIEWS


hear the Hype

Entertainment so memorable that hundreds of people are still cheering from the stands.

"Is this a dance? Or a costume party? Or have I wandered onto the set of some 1930's musical? Doc's band knows and plays just about everything, but focuses on the works of such giants as Cab Calloway, George Gershwin and Irving Berlin."— Larry Fox, The Washington Post"Scantlin's all arms and elbows, a nutty herky-jerky Looney Tunes cartoon of a conductor...showbiz schtick aside, Scantlin stands out from the big-band bunch."—Joe Brown, The Washington Post"The first person to appear for a Washington D.C. concert was a mohawked punker later judged less weird than Scantlin."— Russ DeVault, The Atlanta Journal"The World's Best Band"- Forbes magazine"Dazzling, glamorous, five-star"- W magazine"Scantlin is the consummate showman. Chou Chou's breathy croon recalls Marilyn Monroe and Betty Boop. One of the most fascinating nights out in Washington."- The Washington Post"The hottest act in town"- Dossier magazine"Featuring that irresistible and man-withering lovely, the divine Chou Chou."- WAMU Hot Jazz"Alexandra Miller's birthday party was a dazzling, glamorous, five-star affair. The wild band, Doc Scantlin and His Imperial Palms, came from Washington, D.C. and brought three fabulous flapper girls to entertain, Twenties style."- W Magazine (Suzy's Column)
