The
group, One O'clock Jump, based out Cape Cod, Massachusetts, was a
jazz/swing vocal group that performed together throughout much of
the 1980's.
All
five members were natives of Boston, New Bedford and Cape Cod.
The
group performed original vocal arrangements of big band
orchestrations and other vocal group charts by well noted jazz and
swing groups from the 1930's through the 50's, including Lambert
Hendricks and Ross, The Modernaires, The Andrew Sisters, The Mill
Brothers and many more. |
Using
harmony, vocalese and scat soloing as featured highlights in many
of the group's songs, One O'clock Jump had a unique sound enjoyed
by jazz and swing audiences on both East and West Coasts.
One
O'clock Jump performed together for almost 9 years before
disbanding, playing concerts, festivals and club dates with a
number of renown big bands including The Count Basie Orchestra,
The Buddy Rich Orchestra, The Artie Shaw Band and more......
