Enjoy big band swing April 16
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 LW Clubhouse 4 on the first and third Sunday evenings at 6.
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 still pervades the public consciousness—is the Velvetones signature.
They vividly bring this classic music to life, 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.
