The Vintage Jazz Big Band - Live in Sweden!


The Vintage Jazz Big Band was formed in Göteborg, Sweden in 1986 with musicians who held a common love for the big band music of the late 1930's and 40's. Without written arrangements to play the task of transcribing from the old records was undertaken by the trumpet player Rolf Sundby with allowance for the band to make slight alterations to fit the instrumentation and unique solos of the musicians. In recent years, arrangements have been added to the repertoire by Magnus Bylund and Johnny Korner, both band members. The band plays for both dancing and concerts.
"Live in Denmark" was recorded in Alborg, Denmark at the Jazz club Satchmo in 2004. Titles on the CD are as follows:-
Sugar foot stomp, Vintage clarinet O'Lee, Mule face blues, Creole love call, Going to town, Swanee river, When the saints, You're just my type, Potato head blues, Some of these days, Rent party blues, Take the A train and One O'clock jump.
The band offers other CDs for sale on its website. Go to www.Vintagejazz.net for more details.
