Jumpin'up 8 pieces swing, rock and roll and jumpin' jive 50s style band

Jumpin’up is an all Sicilians band. The band was formed by the guitarist Giuseppe Montalbano in 2005 with the attempt to recreate the warm sound of the 40’s and 50’s.

Each player comes from music styles kinds like swing, jazz, blues and rock and roll, but altogether they melt their influences in the explosive mixture of swing and jive in the style of the italo-americans crooners of the 50’s.

The warm voice of Tony Marino, the jump-blues guitar of Giuseppe Montalbano, the dragging shuffle of Peppe Falzone, supported by double bass, piano, Tenor sax, Baritone sax and trumpet, drive them in a mixture indeed particular.

Their music is draft from the repertorio Swing, Jump Blues and Rock & Roll but above all from 50's Jive. Their main reference are Louis Jordan, Louis Prima (son of Sicilians parents) and Sam Butera but also the Italian Renato Carosone (Napoli style swing) and Fred Buscaglione (the Italian good-hearted gangster).

The Jumpin'up show has a funny atmosphere of old Italian-American taste.

The show recreate the style of entertainment and clothing of the fourties and fi

fties.
