Listen to LW’s big band this Sunday

The Velvetones will play this Sunday, July 16, at 6 p.m. in Clubhouse 4. The Velvetones Ballroom Dance Orchestra is Leisure World’s own professional big band, playing big band swing and jazz standards under the direction of Jeff Plum. The Velvetones play at Clubhouse 4 on the first and third Sunday evenings of each month.

Their signature is the big band sound—that uniquely American combination of reeds, brass and rhythm which defined the nation’s popular music for more than three decades and which still pervades the public consciousness.

They pepper their repertoire with contemporary pop hits to broaden their audience.

Whether it be a well-known big band standard, contemporary jazz showcase, sentimental vocal ballad, or a hard swinging brass feature, the Velvetones provide a unique and complete package of musical entertainment.
