Swing, Jive, Lindy Hop and Jazz scene in Mello Mello


Speakeasy Bootleg Band

Tonight we will be able to enjoy a concert of SBB in Liverpool, specifically in the room Mello Mello, from 9pm, free admission.

In a nutshell, SBB has become the hot property on the northwest (and beyond) Swing, Jive, Lindy Hop and Jazz scene, playing everywhere from posh weddings and corporate gigs to a thriving pub and club scene

Speakeasy Bootleg Band are purveyors of the "Finest Quality Bootleg Music Since Records Began.... Distilled & Bottled in New York and Chicago", but consumed wherever finer things are appreciated. SBB play a heady mix of jazz, jive and Harlem swing, the music of the Cotton Club and Birdland, the illegal drinking haunts of prohibition Chicago and countless rent parties, with driving bass, explosive drums and sophisticated witty vocals. This is the music of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan, Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and Art Blakey, the music which drove Tin Pan Alley and created the Great American Songbook.
