   [ Swing Fever Jazz and Swing Band ]
Dedicated to the music of the 1930s and '40s, and, in the words of jazz critic Phil Elwood, playing as though the numbers are "on today's Hit Parade", this band brings fresh excitement to Swing era music. As JAZZ NOW said, "Swing Fever keeps its music alive without turning it into a museum piece." If this is the band's mission, it is a successful one, as demonstrated by the band's amazing longevity and popularity. Swing Fever is in its twenty third year, having operated steadily since 1978 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The band has played San Francisco's Black and White Ball four times, numerous Herb Caen birthday parties, the Inaugural for SF Mayor Willie Brown, and a myriad of other civic events that have woven it into the city's fabric and its fan's hearts. It played three years in Kimball's Jazz Club in SF and currently plays a lively mix of club dates and private events, keeping Swing Fever a full-time enterprise for its players. Swing Fever has made two recordings. The most recent was recorded with legendary Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Tonight Show trumpeter Clark Terry. Jazz critic Groves Sales complimented it: "Among the new CDs that swamp a working jazz critic, occasionally one slides into the player drawer - and stays there with the "repeat" button on it...Every track on this CD is a ringtailed wonder...Here's a record for all time." Swing Fever's jazz festival list includes the Monterey, Los Angeles, Classic, San Juan Island, Cotati, Sacramento and San Francisco Jazz festivals.
