UPTOWN SWING every Monday starting May 24th, Featuring The George Gee Big Band
(aka The George Gee Swing Orchestra), With Jazz and Blues Vocalist John Dokes
After a recent successful presentation by Jazzmobile, bandleader George Gee and GU LIVE! Opened discussions about bringing George’s popular musical group to the centrally located GU LIVE! which offers an elegant and sophisticated supper club atmosphere – featuring an exquisite dining experience, full bar, wooden dance floor, elegance ambiance and a spacious comfortable setting.
The George Gee Big Band has been in a swing-fest for over 30 years. The 17-piece big band has performed for many of the top names in the music industry including multi- Grammy Award winner Quincy Jones and jazz music giant Frank Foster. The band has performed for the Prince of Jordan in Amman, Jordan, appeared on PBS “Live at Lincoln Center” for 11 million viewers, and dazzled audiences from Zurich to Tokyo, at The World Famous Apollo Theater and “Savoy Sundays” shows for the New York Swing Dance Society. Recent highlights include headlining at Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing, and spotlighted on Entertainment Tonight.
This weekly special entertainment event will surely be a future jewel in the crown of Harlem’s Second Renaissance and offer swing dancers and big band fans a place to enjoy master artists perform the classic sounds and singular style that has made Harlem a beloved cultural capital.
Performances every Monday from 8pm to 11pm beginning May 24th, doors open at 6pm
