Bam-Jazz Let the Party Begin!Bam-Jazz has some of the finest players in the area and trumpeter/vocalist Bill Averbach brings it home with vintage Swing, Jazz and Jive from the 20’s and beyond. When called, the flavor of New Orleans’ spicy Cajun influenced Blues and Mambo takes center stage surrounded by Brazilian Sambas, and the sounds of Reggae and Caribbean Ska and Calypso.With sizzling horn and vocal selections and a finger-poppin’ rhythm machine driving the band you cannot sit still to their New Orleans and Texas Gulf Coast flavor. Their seething and sophisticated ballads of Strayhorn, Ellington and Gershwin beckon you to glide across the dance floor with your baby in your arms.Influenced heavily by artists such as Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, Louis Jordan, Clifton Chenier, Dr. John, and Louis Prima this very versatile group plays that jumpin’ jive so reminiscent of zoot suits and two-tone shoes. In addition you can get that Cajun gumbo, Ballads, Latin and Caribbean, Motown and Beach, to the most contemporary Jazz and Blues sounds and beyond. Along with Trumpeter/Vocalist Bill Averbach the extended band currently features such Jazz dignitaries as Antron Reardon - sax,Buff Dillard - trombone,BJ Sexton - percussion,Ocie Davis - drumsChris Garges - drums,Van Sachs - guitar,Troy Conn - guitar,Roland Hanyes - piano,George Hoar - bassJohn Shaughnessey - bass PARTIAL SONG LIST New Orleans and DixielandMinnie the Moocher - Cab CallowayWhen the Saints Go Marching In - DixielandIf Teardrops Were DiamondsStruttin' That BBQMack the Knife Midnight in MoscowSaint James InfirmarySaint Louis BluesA Kiss to Build a Dream OnShe Caught The KatyBlues and R&BStormy Monday BluesChains of LoveCorrina, CorrinaSittin' on the Dock of the BayMustang SallyMy GirlUnder the BoardwalkFlounder BluesJump Jive and WailEveryday I Have the BluesThings Ain’t What They Use To BeSunny Moon for TwoLet’s Take it Nice and SlowI’ve Got Blood in My EyesMercy, Mercy, MercySince I Fell For YouSwing and Jazz StandardsDon’t Get Around Much AnymoreI Don't Know Enough About YouTake the A TrainPennies From HeavenSunny Side of the StreetBlue SkiesAin’t Misbehavin’Makin’ WhoopeeAll of MeLady LuckDon’t Get Around Much AnymoreA Foggy DayNight in TunisiaGreen Dolphin StreetI’ve Got the World on a StringThere Will Never be Another YouBei Mir Bistu ShoenOut of NowhereAll The Things You AreNight and DaySatin DollI'll Remember AprilIn a Mellow ToneJust FriendsSugarBalladsGeorgiaMistyNight LifeWhat a Wonderful WorldGod Bless the ChildWhen I Fall in LoveSummertimeStormy WeatherMy RomanceWhen I Fall in LoveWhen Sunny Gets BlueStardustRound MidnightYou Don’t Know What Love IsAngel EyesAlone TogetherEasy LivingI Love YouYou Go To My HeadAutumn LeavesDanny BoyAutumn in New YorkMy Funny ValentineMy Foolish HeartOur Love is Here to StayLatin and CaribbeanDay in the Life of a Fool (Black Orpheus)-bossaBoulevard of Broken Dreams - mamboGentle Rain - bossaGirl From Ipanema - bossaWave - bossaPerdido - cha chaLittle Suede Shoes - bossaTeach Me Tonight – mamboKnocking on Heaven’s Door - reggaeSoka Tosh! - skaGentle Rain - bossaSamba de Orpheus - bossaRock Spring - reggaeSummertime - reggaeStormy Weather - skaThe Tide is High - ska Cajun & LouisiannaRichest ManDown at the Audubon Zoo (They All Axed About YouCissy StrutEh La Bas!Iko IkoJolie BlondePee Pee Cluck CluckAransas BayMan From New Orleans
