BAND BIO
The sounds of hot jazz and swing conjure images of a long-lost world of back-alley speakeasies, frenetic dancers, and bathtub gin. Monday night regulars at New York's historic Back Room speakeasy, where Svetlana & The Delancey Five have held swinging court for more than three years, know that the world isn't quite as lost as it may seem.  Since forming in the spring of 2012, Svetlana & The Delancey Five have  gone on to play for full house audiences at a number of renowned New York jazz venues including the Blue Note, B.B. King's, Ginny's Supper Club, Zinc Bar, and Kitano while maintaining their home base at the Back Room. The band has also become one of the most in-demand features  at the numerous sold out hot jazz and swing events - and play at  smaller popular spots in Brooklyn whereby integrating into a thriving Brooklyn music scene. 

With the release of Night at the Speakeasy, produced by Grammy  Award-winner Guy Eckstine and co-produced by drummer Rob Garcia (and featuring renown trombonist and vocalist Wycliffe Gordon), the rest of  us finally have the chance to revel in the sounds of the Delancey Five and their Moscow-born chanteuse, Svetlana Shmulyian ("Astrid Gilberto via Moscow" - Guy Eckstine). This is no strict throwback band, however; the repertoire on their debut album combines swing-era  classics with modern pop songs by the Beatles and the Beach Boys, and  original tunes from the pen of Svetlana and her bandmates, who are  also noted for their work in the straightahead and modern jazz worlds. There's even a tune by the Russian-German trumpeter/composer Eddie  Rosner sung by Svetlana in her native tongue. 

For this CD release party, Svetlana is joined by an all-star band that includes drummer Rob Garcia, a bandleader on the modern Brooklyn scene  as well as an in-demand sideman (Wynton Marsalis, Anat Cohen, Woody  Allen, Vince Giordano, Dianna Krall); New York veteran reeds player, bandlieader and recognized Billy Strayhorn expert Michael Hashim  (Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, George Gee); trumpeter Charlie  Caranicas (Independence Hall Jazz Band, the Karrin Allyson Group, Chico O'Farrill's Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra); master swing pianist and  organist Ben Patterson (Von Freeman, Johnny O'Neal, Peter Bernstein,  Buddy Guy, Steely Dan); bassist George Delancey (Winard Harper, Christian Howes, Richard Galliano, Aaron Diehl); and guitarist Vinny Raniolo (longtime collaborator with Frank Vignola). The show will also feature a raising star tap dancer Michela Marino Lerman who had solo shows in clubs varying from Smalls to Dizzy Club Coca Cola - and performed with Svetlana at BBKings and The Blue Note - and Mary Christinsen's Double Trouble Dance company.
