Jazz Bands London

The Gershwin Gang Jazz Band is a British-based society jazz band with a large repertoire of jazz favourites. The band is ideal for receptions, dinners and dances, both private functions like weddings, birthdays and anniversaries and corporate functions like exhibitions and product launches.

Subscribing to the principle that the old songs really are the best, the Manhattan-style jazz trio specialises in the well-known jazz songs from the 1920s and 1930s written by the Gershwin brothers, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and others, and made popular by Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Sinatra.

Formed just three years ago, the band’s reputation has spread fast. In May 2000 they returned to ‘The Royal Windsor Horse Show’ where, following last year’s success, they again performed in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen. Other recent highlights have included Ascot and the BBC’s ‘Royal Television Society Awards’ as well as numerous private and corporate functions throughout England (London, the Midlands, Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, Southeast) as well as Wales and Scotland.

The band’s basic trio line-up consists of piano/vocals (Selwyn Dorfman), double bass (Paul Stoloff) and drums, occasionally supplemented by Brigitte Escobar as guest vocalist and/or George Galway on saxophone/clarinet/flute.

The Gershwin Gang Jazz Band also present a lively and entertaining outdoor show set, suitable for town and county shows and festivals.

The Gershwin Gang Jazz Band is available for engagements throughout the U.K. and Europe
