Orchestras
Jumpin up (Italy)
Jumpin'up are a Sicilian swing band, composed of 8 members. The band was formed in 2005 in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, with the desire to recreate the original sound of the 40s and 50s, from Swing to Old Rhythm 'n' Blues, from Rock 'n' Roll to Jumpin' Jive. Jumpin'up explores and rediscovers the musicality of the jive energy and swing of the golden years.
Composing the band, Tony Marino's powerful voice, Giuseppe Montalbano's warm jump-blues guitar, Peppe Falzone's shuffling shuffle-swing on drums, double bassist Andrea Di Fiore's "marching", jazz pianist Giuseppe Vasapolli, merge with the tenor sax of Carmelo Sacco, the baritone sax of Michele Mazzola and the trumpet of Nicola Genualdi, in a very special mix, derived from the historic American combo-bands of the 40s and 50s.
Thanks to 15 years of activity, the band has been able to perform not only in Italy but also abroad in the panorama of swing lovers and dancers, performing in several European countries as well as in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Greece, Holland, England, Ireland, Albania, France and Sweden, and also participating in some of the most prestigious European festivals dedicated to the world of Swing, and related roots.
