The Blue Orchid Dance Orchestra
Michael Arenella's Blue
Orchid Dance Orchestra is an 11 piece ensemble specializing in 1920s
American and British hot dance band music. The band's authentic arrangements
are transcribed by Arenalla from vintage 78 rpm performances.
The band provides a rare opportunity to hear what those wonderful but low
fidelity recordings sounded like live.
The performance will be held at Swing
46 located in the theatre district at 349 W 46th Street (between 8th
and 9th Avenues). There is an entertainment cover charge of $10 per
person. I plan to be there at about 7:30. For those interested,
Swing 46 will offer a dance lesson at 8:00. The band will play from
8:30 to 11:30.
If you are interested in attending this event,

Vince Giordano's Nighthawks
Vince
Giordano's Nighthawks is one of the better known contemporary but authentic
1920s/1930s style dance bands. Recently the band was prominently
featured in the soundtrack of the film The Aviator and has a number
of CDs to its credit.
The performance will be held at Charlie O's Times
Square Grill located at 1611 Broadway (at 49th Street). The
table for Radio Dismuke attendees is reserved for 7:45. This
performance is expected to be sold out so it is very important that those
who are interested in attending this event get in contact with me so that
I can make sure that I am able to reserve extra seats early or, if necessary,
give back any extras that I have already reserved that might not be used.
Please see the contact and RSVP instructions below.
There IS a cover charge for this event - but unfortunately,
as I type this, I do not have the specific amount. I will update
this page as soon as I find out. |
