A B O U T A R T I S T S:

WYCLIFFE GORDON (trombone / vocals) -

A renown musician, composer, conductor, and arranger - and the "Best Trombone" Annual Downbeat Critics Poll (2012, 2013), multiple Jazz Journalists Association Award / Trombonist of the Year (from 2001 to 2013) "a one-man show unto himself", "a virtuosic brassman with a huge capacity for musical history" (Wall Street Journal)

SVETLANA SHMULYIAN & THE DELANCEY FIVE -
A favorite of New York City swing dancers and listeners alike, making appearances in the venues ranging from premier jazz clubs to the underground world of speakeasies, Svetlana & The Delancey Five is a "very sweet & naughty" (Jazzlives), "energetic" (Wall Street Journal), "delightful" (WRHU Jazz Radio), and cinematically handsome Golden Age-inspired sextet. Playing 1920s-40s jazz standards as well as charismatic originals, and featuring Svetlana's sultry "made for jazz" (streetcredmusic) "expressive" (radio grandbrive, France) vocals backed by the band members' inspired harmonizing and virtuoso instrumentals - their tunes are so infectious, they'll sweep you off your feet and steal your heart away!

"Led by energetic vocalist Svetlana Shmulyian, the quintet co-stars Adrian Cunningham on clarinet and tenor (shining on "Lester Leaps In") while Dalton Ridenhour piano work ensures that the group splits the difference between Fat Waller's Rhythm and Counts Basie's Kansas City Five" (Will Friedwald, Wall Street Journal, 9.15.12) and also features "jazz hero" (JazzLives) Charlie Carnicas (tr), Rob Garcia, "...one of New York's great jazz drummers and composers." (Capital New York) and "a prime mover in the current Brooklyn jazz scene..." (Time Out-New York) and Dan Loomis, “a forceful and creative bass player” (Cadence) “double-teaming you with style and substance” (All About Jazz)
