NY’s hottest swing singer returns to the Side Door for another listening, dancing party

Straight outta NYC, Svetlana and the Delancey Five are the hottest swing jazz ensemble in the Big Apple. And on March 7, they’ll be lighting up the Side Door, along with some of the bay area’s best lindy hoppers and swing dancers.

 

We’re bringing in a wooden dance floor so the Side Door will be alive with music and motion. Dean Johanesen, a major talent in swing and eclectic jazz will open the show with his trio. For tickets and information, you can call our box office at 727-822-3590, or just follow this link. Showtime for the Thursday, 3-21 show is 7:30 p.m.

 

Svetlana is a critically acclaimed vocalist and she and the band have been labeled “NYC Darlings” by Time Out Magazine.  Svetlana’s shows transport the audiences to the carnival of sound, seamlessly moving from sophisticated and sultry retrospection to a rowdy joyous dance party. Her new album of movie music topped the jazz charts and she’s got a great new cover of the Pharrell Williams song Happy with Wycliffe Gordon. Check it our here.

 

Svetlana and her band have headlined sold out shows in the premier venues and festivals across the US and internationally (Tel Aviv Blues Festival, Italian Villas and Jazz Festival,  Blue Note Jazz Festival – as well as the Blue Note,  BBKings Blues Club, Iridium Jazz Club, Joe’s Pub, Boston’s Regatta Bar, many Performance Arts Theaters and Festivals around the US) – gaining critical acclaim from audiences and press alike by presenting exhilarating shows that combine the charm of Svetlana’s sultry swinging vocals, with the the excitement, power, and unpredictable improvisational aspects of her “little big band”, the Delancey Five.

 

Svetlana’s album “Night at the Speakeasy” (produced by Grammy Award winning Guy Eckstine) has been released to critical acclaim on Origin Records, charted on Jazz Radio charts (was among “most added” in Jan 2016) and was critic’s choice for Top 10 2016 albums.
