News & Gigs
Winter, 2008: Swingadelic has been featured in New York Magazine in the article They Rock All Night Long by Catherine Coreno & Kari Milchman.
“Whether they’re blasting out something classic from Count Basie or some new-school swing by Brian Setzer, the fourteen members don’t phone it in. “When they’re performing, you can tell they’re having a good time,” says Seth Abramson, artistic director for the Jazz Standard, who hired the band for his own wedding. The band’s been honing its craft for the past decade, playing dance festivals all over the East Coast, and appearing at the Big Apple BBQ as well as at a regular gig at the Hoboken jazz spot Maxwell’s. If your Lindy Hop is shaky, the group can set couples up with a dance instructor (starting at $250) for private, pre-wedding lessons (from $550 per musician, up to fourteen available; book six months in advance).”
August 25th, 2008: The band has two new tracks featuring vocalist A.J. Lambert. For those in the know, A.J. is Nancy Sinatra’s daughter and the granddaughter of Ol’ Blue Eyes. Check out our Samples page to hear it.
MediaMix Entertainment has just released our fourth CD, titled “Another Monday Night” It consists of original compositions and arrangements brought in by the band members plus one Duke Ellington 20’s era tune. It’s a great collection of swingin’ jazz & blues from our eleven piece band. All Swingadelic CD’s can be purchased at our gigs or thru CDBaby.com. Digital downloads are available at www.emusic.com and www.rhapsody.com.
Our four piece ensemble recently did a cocktail hour for a reception that will be featured on The Style Network’s “reality” tv show “Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?” Great job by party planners www.ohsofab.com.
The band just recorded a tune for a soon to be released film called “Play It By Ear”, starring Michele Hurd and Rita Moreno. We played an old 20’s era Duke Ellington composition called “The Gal From Joe’s”. Check out our audio page to hear it.
