SWING FEELING Little Big Band
« SWING FEELING » Little Big Band
Organised in 1992, Swing Feeling is today considered by the jazz critics and the jazz amateurs as one of the hottest European bands, with the following musicians...
Jérome Etcheberry or Gilles Berthenet (premier trompette)
Dan Vernhettes (deuxième trompette, leader) - Jean-Pierre Dumontier (trombone)
Hugues Dieuzeide (arrangeur, anches) - Jacques Montebruno (anches)
Philippe Dourneau (anches) - Philippe Milanta (piano)
Enzo Mucci (contrebasse) - François Laudet (drums)
The répertoire proposes a promenade into the music of the big bands of the 30s and 40s, such as Fletcher Henderson, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, Andy Kirk, Chick Webb, Erskine Hawkins, Fats Waller, Bull Moose Jackson, Lester Young, Harry Edison, Claude Hopkins, Oscar Peterson, Sabby Lewis, Todd Rhodes, Cab Calloway… and some original arrangements by the band.
“With Swing Feeling, we are brought back to the Savoy or any great dancing hall that welcomed by the best big jazz bands. Swing Feeling’s rhythm section has been exemplary during the whole concert, Philippe Milanta often reaching his best (especially in his punctuation's and solos ‘à la Basie’) on the piano. All the soloists are excellent, with a particular mention for Jérôme Etcheberry, who brought the house down on Saint Louis Boogie, Second Balcony Jump, Yacht Club Swing, Krazy Krapers (with an exciting exchange between the trumpet and the drums that reminded me of the famous Benny Goodman’s Sing, Sing, Sing). The final tune, Bellboy Boogie ,had another excitnig dialog, this time between the two trumpeters.” François Abon, Hot Club de France
Swing Feeling is known for its swing, its feel for blues and its collective improvisations.
Maurice Cullaz, the late president of the French Académie du Jazz, wrote: “They are only nine, but they swing like fifteen !” “This band is a first class band. The music breathes, the rhythm is relaxed, and the melodies are really felt. Here one approaches the groove of the old american bands. The musicians really play like one man as they share a common musical spirit, and they all know how to raise the tension by playing solos that are coherent with the esthetic of the group. The size of the band allows a greater flexibility than an average big band has, and offers more liberty to each soloist.”
Guy Chauvier, Jazz classique
“The spirit of Kansas City and Harlem inspires this orchestra. Homogeneity, rhythmic precision and spontaneity unite these musicians of one of the best European bands.”
Jazz Notes
A tender or dynamic music, according to the color of each tune, with arrangements that really swing,
and lots of improvisations. Feeling and Swing!
