Mini Swing Gang Band at Elegance Cafè Jazz Club

Mini Swing Gang Band is a band born in the forge of the A.R.P.A. (Accademia Romana Promozione Arti) at the beginning of 2018. Initially conceived as a vocal trio with Cecilia Morrone (soprano voice), Alice Albanese Gianammi (mezzosoprano voice) and Lorenzo Mazzoni (tenor voice and guitarist), it is soon enriched by the rhythmic / harmonic presence by Daniele Russo (drums) and Andrea Marano (piano).
The group develops a repertoire that, beginning from the classics of Swing music of the ‘20/’30/’40, develops and focuses on revisiting and arranging songs from every era and historical period, reinterpreted in a vintage key. A close proximity to the wave of swing dance and lindy hop, sees them projecting themselves towards performances that are perfectly suited to social dance and the accompaniment of dancers in lindy, balboa, shag etc. dance performances. Not without a glance at the dawn of jazz with references to Ragtime. Lately, to complete the palette, a development activity of original songs has also been added....

Although recently formed, the band has carried out an intense live activity on the Roman and national scene: as a resident band of some of the most active clubs in the capital, they have developed a live set of intense energy and valuable technical expertise that lends itself to listening like at the dance.
