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......

Boston Herald says: "It's a contemporary musical flashback to the 1930's and 40's. A carbon microphone with a 20-20,000HZ. The sound would make Glenn Miller smile. The arrangements would please Billy Strayhorn. They're old, they're new, borrowed, blue......Latin swing and jazz vocals, casually elegant and elegantly casual. They will entertain you. They'll make you smile. You'll love them."

The Monterey Herald: "One O'Clock Jump's arrangements are fresh and contemporary interpretations of the classics."

I hope you enjoy listening to One O'Clock Jump Live again!

These recordings are remastered from an audio tape series of live performances dating back to the 1980s by One O'Clock Jump in both concerts and jazz clubs from East to West Coast.

thanks,
