About the Artist
James Bond meets Mike Hammer in a Nero Wolfe novel and they form a swing band. Swingin' jazz with dime novel Rat Pack feel.
BIOGRAPHY
Personnel include 4 music educators, 3 performance degrees on their respective instruments, one former arranger for a major music publishing house, plus a lawyer, a bank vice president and vice president for investments at a major investment firm. The roster has remained stable since the band's inception. (Exception: original alto player moved to Boston to study his instrument at Berkely.)
The ensemble fills the niche between small combo and big band swing, with a "Rat Pack" approach to swing and ballroom dance music from all decades. The standards of the 40s are covered, as is the swing of today, but the band stops along the way to pick up the swing tunes of the years in-between that some how got labeled "pop". The intent is to be more exciting and accessible than the image often associated with the traditional big band, but to avoid the raunchiness included in much of modern swing. Fun in a club appearance, yet also appropriate for any family or corporate event.
