The UK’s number one Jive and Swing band, The Jive Aces, play The Green Room 42 on Thursday, April 2 at 7:00 PM. The show also features Annemarie Rosano (Birdland Big Band, America’s Sweethearts) as a guest vocalist. The band features Ian Clarkson on lead vocals, trumpet and ukulele; “Big John” Fordham on tenor saxophone, clarinet and fiddle; Vince “Professor” Hurley on piano; Ken Smith on double bass; Peter “Bilky” Howell on drums; Alex Douglas on trombone, washboard and blues harp; and Grazia Bevilacqua on accordion.
For more than three decades, this high-energy ensemble has performed in over 40 countries, entertaining audiences with seamless shifts from hot jazz to foot-stomping rhythm & blues and old-time classic rock ‘n’ roll. The performance will highlight tracks from their latest album, Keeping the Show On the Road, alongside timeless classics, including their rendition of the BBC TV Classic “Bring Me Sunshine” — nearing four million YouTube views. Their recent single “La Vie En Rose” topped the British Heritage Chart.
