SEEKING

ABOUT

* I am currently seeking to join or form a touring classic swing/jazz Sinatra-style band for both recording originals and touring/performing classic jazz (maybe vintage Soul/Blues?) covers. I'm returning to my roots in VA after entertaining in the Northwest over the last six years. I've mainly performed as a 'for hire' Sinatra-style, swing-jazz crooner/entertainer solo act - (much like Sinatra & other crooners of their time) but I'm now anxious to evolve into something more! I am occasionally requested to perform on stage with other jazz artists/orchestras - as well as recording studio projects and accompanying touring jazz artists/bands. I was recently invited to record some jazz standards in New York City with jazz pianist legend John Colianni (Mel Torme's touring pianist) who also played with Miles Davis, Lionel Hampton & many others. I have over fourty years experience and have also written some of my own material. Looking to tour or gig with a working (or soon to be working) jazz band/orchestra or as a regular working musical host of a live music venue in the region. *Visit jackerwann.com for more info!
