Not just one of the hottest, but certainly one of the most unique new acts in the world of jazz entertainment, The Singers Elite Vocal Big Band has been getting raves from around the world. The repertoire is classic big band - In The Mood, April In Paris, Sing, Sing, Sing, Serenade In Blue, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Mood Indigo, I’ll Never Smile Again, Moonlight Serenade, Skyliner, Li’l Darlin’, Tuxedo Junction, On The Sunny Side Of The Street...exact re-creations of the original classics, but we’ve substituted singers for the horns and strings. With 13 singers covering the usual compliment of horns, 5 singers covering the strings and vocal group writing, and a traditional 4 piece, acoustic, "Count Basie"-style rhythm section providing the foundation, the 22 piece orchestra has a huge, lush sound that is enchanting everyone who hears it.
There have been recordings like this in the past - “singing” the horn parts to big band arrangements - but it’s never been done live before. One of the most notable recordings of this kind was done by the Swingle Singers in 1979. Ward Swingle has provided us with his arrangements from that album and has been supervising the additional charts added to the repertoire.
Some of the superlatives used to describe the band have been "What a fantastic ensemble!" (from Manhattan Transfer’s Alan Paul), "You all sound fantastic!!" (from Manhattan Transfer’s Janis Siegel), "WOW!", "Very Cool", "Incredible!" and so on.
Whether you need a headliner, an opening act, or something to fill in at the last minute, The Singers Elite Vocal Big Band is fresh, exciting, and guaranteed to set the house on fire. We’ll look forward to bringing our show to you.
