The
best and fastests Jump Blues!
Stompy
Jones (formerly Swing Session) is a San Francisco based sextet,
renowned for their jumpin' rhythm, wailing improvisations,
hip charm and explosive stage show. Whether appearing at a
posh supper club, concert hall, festival or down the road
a piece, the solid sounds of these journeymen of jump are
delivered in the romping, joyous, overwhelming style of jazz
that came to be known as Rock and Roll!
Although the band was formed in 1998, its members are all
veteran musicians, well steeped in the traditions of Swing,
Boogie Woogie and early Rhythm and Blues!

Jelly
Roll Souls
The
Jelly Roll Souls are the youngest swinginist
and soulfullest band around today. Born from the collaborative
visionary efforts of Lech Wierzynski(Trumpet and Vocals),
and Nansamba Ssensalo (Drums), the JRS's deliver a sound thats
as joyous and funky as a New Orleans street parade, down-home
as a Delta juke joint, and fresh and sweet as a Carolina peach.
Working with some the finest musicians in the bay area, the
Jelly Roll Souls will not only keep your feet moving, but
also delight your ears and most of all, soothe your soul.
Lech's
other band just won SF Weekly's best Soul artist.

William
Beatty
(formerly
of Indigo Swing)
Listen

Swing by clicking
here!
William
Beatty creates faster bands than Indigo Swing!
Born in Berkelely, California, was invited to
join the back-up band for a local soul group,
The Numonics. Styled after the singing group
'The Temptations'. Since then he has continued
on his musical journey, studying and playing
a wide variety of music, from classical piano
repertoire to blues, r&b, gospel and jazz.
As a five-year member of a band led by the fine
saxophonist Jules Broussard, William honed his
skills, and upon leaving he began leading his
own group, Countdown, which worked for many
years as the house band at a popular night spot
on Union Street in San Francisco. It was here
that he met the talented vocalists Nicolas Bearde.
William's experience as a touring musician is
highlighted most recently by four years' traveling
with the band Indigo Swing. From 1996 to 2000,
the band recorded three CD's with William as
the principle composer and arranger. Indigo
Swing toured throughout the United States, Canada,
England and Europe. They performed with Lionel
Hampton and Rosemary Clooney at the Stuttgart
Jazz Festival in Germany, shared a touring bill
with The Brian Setzer Orchestra, and had songs
placed in the movie 'The Bachelor', and on the
TV series Nash Bridges. He continues to Swing
San Francisco with various bands of his own
and as a guest in other bands including: Corner
Pocket and Big B and his Snake Oil Saviors...

Frisky
Frolics
The
Frisky Frolics are truley 1920's-30's Tin Pan Alley
Troubadours.
Listen
to the Frisky
Frolics by clicking
here!
These
dapper dressers and syncopating songsters have a knack
for giving every composition an appropriate treatment.
Some numbers are played ever so simply and sweetly
while others will be swung with the hottest of rhythms.
The Frisky Frolics are an ideal "hotcha"
band, full of color and up-to-date in the latest 20’s
style; a sheer delight to see, listen or dance to!
This wily, 5-piece, ukulele-driven troupe specializes
in long-forgotten musical gems of the 1920-30’s.
Self-described Tin Pan Alley Troubadours, they have
lovingly mined through their 78 record collections
and come up with a lively and varied set of songs,
combining favorite familiar standards such as Louise
and Paper Moon, with obscure and novelty numbers like,
Cake Eatin’ Man and I Wish I Could Shimmy Like
My Sister Kate.
Voted “Best Band for the New Depression”
by the Bay Guardian’s Best of the Bay, 2001
and; SF Weekly Wammie Nominees, the Frisky Frolics
continually perform their “new” musical
discoveries to a growing legion of enthusiastic fans
from their home base, The Rite Spot in San Francisco.
