Velvetones set to play Sunday
The Velvetones Ballroom Dance Orchestra is Leisure World’s own professional big band, playing Big Band Swing and jazz standards—music for dreaming and dancing under the direction of Jeff Plum. The Velvetones play at Clubhouse 4 on the first and third Sunday evenings at 6 p.m. Grab your dancing shoes and join us this Sunday.
The Big Band Sound—that uniquely American combination of reeds, brass, and rhythm which defined our nation’s popular music for more than three decades and which still pervades our public consciousness is the Velvetones signature.
They vividly bring this classic music to life for a new generation of audiences, authentically recreating the style, musicality, and essence of Swing Era band music. 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 provides a unique and complete package of musical entertainment.
