Rat Pack Band

Jazz not Jazz has been searching for a suitable Rat Pack Band for sometime now. It would be easy to take on a guy with backing tracks but this is not what we do here at Jazz not Jazz. We always prefer to promote live quality musicians and have finally sourced a top quality Rat Pack Band that we are confident in marketing to our corporate and private clients.

What makes a good Rat Pack Band? A number of criteria comes into operation when making a decision on the Rat Pack Band we chose.

Cost: In order to keep the cost at an affordable level the band mustn`t be too big. The bigger the Rat Pack Band the bigger the wage bill! This consideration brings us to..

Arrangements: Most music for a Rat Pack Band is written for a large orchestra. Four trumpets, four trombones five saxes, woodwinds and strings. To change the arrangements and make them work for a much smaller band is not an easy task. Fortunately Simon Currie, the musical director for Sinatra and the Swinging Singers, is particularly skilled in this area and has managed to rearrange the Rat Pack Band repertoire for a much smaller ensemble and still make it work.

Musical ability: The arrangments and music for the Rat Pack Band were played by some of the best musicians on the planet. When Sinatras Capitol recordings were made on the West Coast of America, Hollywoods finest session players were employed to make the band and the musical backing incredibly special. The musicians used by the Sinatra and the Swinging singers Rat Pack Band are of the highest standard and understand the genre and style of the Rat Pack Band music at great depth.

The show: It is no good having a great bunch of musicians without being able to project out to the audience the sense of fun, style and sheer class the Rat Pack exuded. Simon Currie has surrounded himself with some excellent singers and front men to make the Rat Pack Band experience one to remember for both a corporate show or for a party or wedding celebration.
