The "CRAZY RHYTHM HOT SOCIETY ORCHESTRA" is an 11-piece 1920's Dance Orchestra. They play the Big Band music of 1920-1934. The "hot" jazz as well as the sweet music and the novelty numbers of the period. The band plays note-for-note transcriptions from the original 78 rpm recordings of the "Roaring Twenties." The instrumentation is authentic and so is the interpretation. They have several male vocalists and a vocal trio within the band, plus the beautiful and talented vocalist, Miss Ginger Pauley, and the handsome Jeff Gilbert (the "Last Crooner"). They're the Cat's Meow! Hotcha Razzmatazz!
