From 1981 - 2003, the Big Band Trio played their unique brand of swing, jump and boogie combined with the smoothest three part vocals to enthusiastic crowds coast to coast. Robert Brodeur, guitar, Clark Brendon, upright bass and Paul Wainwright, sax were in constant demand at festivals and concerts. Their four cds are testament to their musicianship and continue to receive world wide airplay.
In 1981 Robert Brodeur, Clark Brendon and Paul Wainwright were searching for a way to play the music they love from the big band era, but in a more portable format.
And this is the result.
The smoothest three part vocal harmonies combined with their unique brand of swing, jump and boogie favourites have earned them the distinction of one of Canada's premiere swing groups.
Their three cds Wolf at the Door, Places to Go, People to See and Rent Party! are finely polished testaments to their skill and musicianship. Every show is delivered with humour and fun and their wardrobe is custom made with style to spare.
Contains a calendar, discography, biography, photos, and booking information.

The premiere jazz and swing band in the bay area, the Blue Room Boys are available for hire for parties and events.
The Blue Room Boys are one of San Francisco's most exciting bands, a favorite of dancers and jazz fans alike. Featuring the sultry vocals of Emily Hayes and the virtuoso horn playing of Ralph Carney and Danny Armstrong, the Boys are backed up by a swingin' rhythm section: bandleader Michael McIntosh on piano, Brian Kane on guitar, Bill Langlois on bass, and Kevin Mummey on drums.
Playing the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and other greats from the swing era, The Blue Room Boys burn the house down while the dancers cut a rug.
Ralph Carney plays saxophones, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, woogie stick, and various and sundry items of percussion. Ralph has an extensive resume of credits to his name, including TV music for "The Little Rascals Show"; movie music for "Night on Earth" (Jim Jarmusch), "Wild at Heart" (David Lynch) and "Dead Man Walking"; theater music for "Frank's Wild Years" (Steppenwolf Theater) and "Ubu Roi" (Lincoln Center).
Emily Hayes is an earthy jazz and blues singer. She made her singing debut at the age of nine, decked out in daring red velvet on the spotlit stage of an elementary school. Part of a musical family, she often performed with her brother and sisters on a makeshift stage in the back of her suburban East Coast home.
Brian Kane is currently a graduate student in music composition at UC Berkeley and has been in demand as one of the busiest guitarists in San Francisco. He works regularly with the Frank Jackson Trio and the legendary Hal Stein, as well as leading his own quartet and trio.
Acoustic bassist Bill Langlois has lived and played jazz professionally in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1977, performing styles from traditional to avant-garde, he has performed with numerous internationally famous musicians as well as with some of the finest local Bay Area talent.
Michael McIntosh plays classical, jazz and rock piano in San Francisco. He has recorded with, among others, Jonathan Richman, Jolie Holland, and Tim Hockenberry.
Kevin Mummey learned to play drums from his father. Later teachers include Bob Moses, Swapan Choudhouri and Vince Delgado.
San Francisco band playing tunes from the swing era. Band biographies, music samples, merchandise, a calendar of upcoming shows, and a list of swing links are provided.
