Big Swing and the Ballroom Blasters
Created to recreate the excitement The Cotton Club had back in the 20’s-30’s in New York, when only affluent white audiences could go see African American greats like Count Basie, Duke Ellington and the likes, Jerry envisioned a concept that had never been orchestrated before. A band that could play the classic big band hits with the same authenticity as todays mega dance hits. Hence, Big Swing! Never before had such attention been paid in selecting great musicians and singers to recreate classic big band music with today’s best dance music. Whether 15 minutes of swing in the beginning of their non-stop show or a whole night of it, Big Swing and the Ballroom Blasters have something for all ages. Ten, thirteen or seventeen pieces with nine lead vocalists!
The Ballroom Blasters
The “ SWING FREE “ version of Big Swing, this is the exact same band without the swing. Some clients may love what they see in Big Swing but just want nothing but great party music from the 70’s to today hits, so Jerry and cast will bring it home with nothing but the best. Feel free to work with Jerry in customizing your set list to make sure you get nothing but what you feel you and your guests will enjoy. Whether you want the latest in Bruno Mars, or funky hits like Earth, Wind and Fire, The Ballroom Blasters will be happy to accommodate. Want a cooler, hit look? No problem! Jerry and his band members will be happy to dress to your liking whether color coordinating with your theme or fancy dress. Ten, thirteen or seventeen pieces with nine lead vocalists!
Big Swing Dance Experience
A Twenty- two ( 22 ) piece mega group, this band features eight ( 8 ) horns, four ( 4 ) strings, nine ( 9 ) lead vocalists, a four ( 4 ) piece band and a Latin percussionist. Never before has an experience like this been created. Over 5 years went into the creation of this monster group. Hand selected national act caliber musicians were blended, rehearsed, choreographed and costumed just like a national act. With a song list of over 800 songs, they can be molded into a buyers dream show. It’s the “really big show” on the big stage you have always wanted but could not afford. Whether a whole evening of swing, a whole evening of high energy party music or a themed event with costume changes for each decade of music, they will deliver an unforgettable experience. Think BIG, think NON-STOP, think DANCE EXPERIENCE!
