Description
Now in 2007, George Gee and his more compact 10 piece swing big band "The Jump, Jivin' Wailers" has released GJazz Records GJ3568, "If Dreams Come True." After nearly three decades as an established swing bandleader in the big band industry, George Gee realizes that this is a "Dream Come True!" Little did he know that when he started his first big band on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in 1980, that it would lead to a continuing lifetime fulfillment of his passion for the big band art form and it's style of music. Fueled by the recent resurgence of interest in Big Band Swing and Lindy Hop and the mass addition of new swing jazz music lovers, George Gee has taken advantage of the climate by presenting a fun and high energy showcase of the Big Band style and ideology. The 10 pc. Jump, Jivin' Wailers (formerly The Jump, Jive & Wailers)was created in 1999 by Musical Director/Trumpeter/Vocalist Walt Szymanski and bandleader George Gee as a way to economically perform and tour with a smaller orchestra with a "Big Band" sound. Walt wrote custom-tailored musical arrangements that still took advantage of the original orchestrations and retained the full, classic and swingin' sound. "If Dreams Come True" features dancefloor-proven, classic Savoy Ballroom favorites and the arrangements of Mr. Szymanski (with a few additional contributions by Dan Barrett, Jordan Sandke and Michael Hashim). Classic big band swing jazz, meant for both listenin' and dancin', with a nod towards the jump styles of some of George's favorites: his musical idol and mentor Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Fletcher Henderson, Lionel Hampton, Gene Krupa, Fats Waller and Jimmy Rushing. Special appearances by Grammy nominee vocalist Carla Cook, vocalist John Dokes and clarinetist Dan Block.
