Ambassadors of Swing Hot

JASON ISAACS & THE DAVE CONNOLLY BIG BANDARETHE AMBASSADORS OF SWING South of the border in his native Northeast Jason Isaacs is a legend. With a voice to die for, easy charm and endless energy he brings on swing fever like the very best of his legendary predecessors, creating an instant atmosphere with a voice that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Isaacs' epitomises the original rat-pack era, performing the classics with style and panache adding a hint of tongue in cheek humour. Fabulous good looks and sultry sax solos aside, Isaacs' appeal extends to all ages, men and women alike, with his quick wit and trademark high-kicking stage antics. 'Jason's fantastic voice provides the perfect evening's entertainment,' Duncan Bannatyne, Dragon's Den 'The man is a star, I was completely blown away!' actor Hugo SpeerJason began his musical career as a sax player, playing with a Thai rhythm and blues band and working the bars and hotels of Bangkok. He went on to perform in New York - where he shared a stage with the original Blues Brothers band and sang with Tony Bennett - and then throughout Europe. Match made in Swing Heaven Isaacs' collaboration with Dave Connolly began upon his return to Newcastle in 2003. Dave's not only a brilliant musician, but a genius when it comes to arrangements. It's a match made in swing heaven! Dave's dry wit and Jason's sense of mischief add real warmth to their performances. Old friends, their on-stage rapport provides an added sparkle to this great show.The Edinburgh show will include all your swing favourites from Lady Is A Tramp and Ain't That A Kick in the Head, through more recent hits like Moondance and Mr. Bojangles, a sprinkling of Elvis numbers, a bit of blues sax finished off with a swing twist to a couple of modern classics. A guaranteed night to remember.
