The coolest and most versatile swing band in London. A unique blend of your favourite ‘Ratpack’ swing and sophisticated jazz standards with a touch of soul. The perfect mix for a great show and the ultimate dance floor sound track to your event. Please visit our website for a huge range of audio, video, photos and information.
The band is fronted by one of the finest male jazz vocalists on the scene today and is backed by an outstanding rhythm section who never fail to the get the room swinging. The optimum ‘big band’ sound comes with the 8-piece band featuring a 4-piece brass section, but the band can easily be scaled down to perform with 2 or even no brass. Female vocals and guitar are recommended optional extras if you require additional soul/party repertoire as part of an all-inclusive package.
Live music performed to this standard just can't be beaten for creating an electric atmosphere of nostalgia at your event. The band is formed from some of the most in-demand professional jazz musicians in the UK today. The musicians have collectively performed with some of the biggest names in jazz (The National Youth Jazz Orchestra, The BBC Big Band, John Dankworth, Cleo Laine, Buddy Greco, Jools Holland, Jamie Cullum, Gerard Presencer, Guy Barker) and at some of the most prestigious venues (Ronnie Scott’s, The 606 Club, The Jazz Cafe, The Royal Albert Hall).
