| The Brian Setzer Orchestra at The Beacon Theatre On Wednesday, November 21st, the "New King Of Jingle Bell Rock" (Billboard) Brian Setzer and his 18-piece big band will dazzle the Beacon Theatre in New York, NY. The group's festive and exhilarating holiday set will trumpet the Orchestra in top form, tearing through blazing rockabilly and big band swing. Songs will span Setzer's career, including Stray Cats and BSO hits "Stray Cat Strut", "Jump Jive An' Wail", and "Rock This Town" as well as new tunes from 'Wolfgang's Big Night Out, ' (Surfdog Records) Setzer's 14th studio album. Following last year's sold out and critically acclaimed tour, the sixth annual Christmas Extravaganza tour expands to 27 dates. 'Wolfgang's Big Night Out' finds the creative genius tackling the daunting task of reinventing and reviving many of classical music's most popular songs. From Beethoven to Mozart and Tchaikovsky, the three-time Grammy Award winner creates entirely new and explosive rockabilly renditions of these timeless melodies. Surfdog Records has also re-released Setzer's indispensable yuletide albums 'Dig That Crazy Christmas' ("undeniably cool" - Chicago Sun Times) and 'Boogie Woogie Christmas' ("best all-around holiday album" - New York Post) as well as the 'Christmas Extravaganza' DVD, shot at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles in December 2004. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
