Description
Bob Morrison Orchestra:
Formed in 1997 in Victoria, B.C., the BOB MORRISON ORCHESTRA comprises ten musicians featuring our vocalist, recording artist Sue Doman. The orchestra specializes in music from the Swing Era of the 1930's and 1940's, but our extensive music library contains many songs from the 1950's and later. All the standard dances, waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, tango, rhumba, samba, cha-cha-cha, rock and jive are in our repertoire. Requesting that favourite songs be included in the performance, planning your event around a theme, or taking the opportunity to sing a ballad in front of the orchestra, are just a few of the possibilities to make your occasion memorable.
The configuration of vocalist, 3 rhythm, 3 brass and 3 reeds, emulates the composition of many Swing Era dance bands. This allows for a comfortable fit into most venues. The orchestra is completely self-contained, including a microphone which is available for use by your party.
Victoria, British Columbia based 9-piece band with female vocalist playing music of the Swing Era. Includes profile, bandleader biography, repertoire and testimonials.

The Blues Jumpers, who have received glowing reviews nationwide, are now elevating their level of success by collaborating with critically acclaimed singer songwriter Haywood Gregory. The result of this union- a new CD entitled
Livin' Like A King.
Born in Savannah, Georgia, Haywood Gregory started singing in church at the age of seven. Soul, funk, rhythm, jazz and jump blues, Gregory has shared the stage with Bruce Springsteen, Carl Perkins, Bobby Watson and Tony Bennett to name a few. He has toured throughout the world, including performances at the Newport Jazz Festival (RI), the Lunt Fontanne Theatre (NY) and Donnerstag (Koln, Germany).
Gregory has been featured on countless recordings including Killer Joe's Scene of The Crime with Joe Delia, Max Weinberg, Branford Marsalis and others. In 1997 he recorded two CDs: the Last Concert CD with the legendary Eddie Harris and Bernard Purdie, and Haywood & Jeannie Gregory Swingin' with The Romero Brothers. He has toured with the Roy Gerson Orchestra and received glowing reviews, the New York Times calling him a "a strong-voiced singer…tireless vocalist who belts out the jump numbers that are the basis of the (Louis) Jordan repertoire."
The Blues Jumpers gained national attention in 1997 with the release of their debut CD Wheels Start Turning (Ridge Recordings) and the 1998 release Swingin' Holiday (National). Under the direction of band leader/drummer Joseph Geary, the band toured extensively and received crtical acclaim. Although Geary went through a series of different musicians, he managed to keep the sound consistent and the band's following in tact. "I've been fortunate to have worked with a lot of wonderful musicians. That's enabled me to bring together different people for our tours yet keep a solid sound."
