June 6th, 2008 - The Jive Aces

Midtown Stomp presents the U.K.'s Jive Aces!

The Jive Aces’ unique sound comes from a combination of their own original tunes in true swing style as well as fresh arrangements of songs from the swing era. Classics made famous 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.

The Jive Aces first hit America in 1996 when they were invited to perform at the Olympic Games celebrations in Atlanta, Georgia. Since then they have returned to America many times and performed all over the States including Hollywood where they recorded their albums in the famous Mad Hatter studios.

Infectious rhythm, screaming horns and slapping bass all add up to being the favourite band of dancers across the globe. Consequently, the Jive Aces have performed with many of the top dancers and dance troupes around including; The Jivin’ Lindy Hoppers (UK), DC Swing Dance Society (USA), Norma Miller (USA), Frankie Manning (USA), Hop, Swing and a Jump (USA), The Rhythm Hotshots (Sweden), Zoots and Spangles (UK), Christian Perry (USA).
