Yes, the sound of the Big Bands is still around! I had the pleasure of hearing a swell outfit led by my friend Jonathan Stout. He had a small combo named the Campus Five, now he has a full 14 piece Orchestra! They play some standards, but they specialize in playing the tunes that you can only hear on a crusty 78rpm! They play a lot of Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman arraignments that no one has heard for 50 years. It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s really grate stuff! I know that I get tiered of hearing the same old songs over and over again. This band breathes new life into swing music! His Orchestra will be playing at the Argyle Hotel in Hollywood on Sunset Blvd on the 2nd of February. Cover is 15 bucks at the door and that is cheap for a night of grate live music and dancing!
So, all of you within the grater LA area, come on down and get the taste of this fading fad! The swing revival is dwindling and it wont be long till these bands are no more.
Any questions, just ask!
Thanks.
