"… an
ensemble with sufficient musical muscle to handle the catalogs of Cab
Calloway, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie." - David Wildman, Boston Sunday
Globe
The Sticky Skillet Swing Orchestra is an eight piece group consisting of
vocals, trumpet, trombone, sax, bass, piano, guitar and drums. Performing
the classic swing of composers such as Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan and
Count Basie, the Sticky Skillets are a great choice for your listening and
dancing pleasure. If you want more than swing, don’t worry, SSSO can cover a
wide range of styles from klezmer and calypso, to rock and soul covers.

The Sticky Skillets feature some of Boston's finest jazz musicians. Members
have performed with such greats as Tony Bennett, Joel Grey and Aretha
Franklin as well as local groups such as The Artie Shaw Band, The White Heat
Swing Orchestra, Lou Colombo/ Dick Johnson Sextet, Either/Orchestra and Made
in the Shade.
SSSO can vary in size from three to eight members. The Sticky Skillet Trio
is our slimmed down version featuring Dan Fox on trombone, Crick Diefendorf
on guitar, and John Turner on bass. This ensemble is able to play the larger
group's full catalog of jazz and non-jazz repertoire. |
