CLEARWATER - Winter Wonderland swings to the music of Jive Aces on Tuesday, Dec. 11, 7:30 to 9 p.m.
The Jive Aces brings the audience to their feet with their high energy, non-stop music, bright suits, irresistible humor and professionalism. The band is the UK’s top jive and swing band and have starred in thousands of major festivals, theatres, clubs and corporate events around the world including the House of Blues, Apollo Theatre, Montreux Jazz Festival, Palladium, Cannes Film Festival and Royal Albert Hall. They are renowned for their high energy Jump Jive music, a blend of danceable swing, R&B, Rock ‘n’ Roll, boogie and Jump Blues.
The Jive Aces have worked alongside diverse artists such as Van Morrison, Isaac Hayes, the Count Basie Orchestra, Buddy Greco, Acker Bilk and a host of others. Their unique sound comes from a combination of their own original tunes in true swing style as well as fresh arrangements of classics by such greats as Louis Prima (Just a Gigolo), Louis Jordan (Five Guys Named Mo), Cab Calloway (Minnie the Moocher), Count Basie, Benny Goodman and Louis Armstrong.
