Red Hot! That's What!

An evening with Jon Seiger and the All-Stars is something you won’t soon forget. Their authentic renditions of songs by Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and many other jazz greats will leave you feeling as if you were living jazz history. The band is made up of seasoned jazz musicians, all of whom “swing hard.” The band has performed at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the Oakville Jazz Fest (Canada), the Festival de Jazz en Abril (Argentina), the Dublin Music and Art Festival, the Suncoast Dixieland Jazz Classic, and many others, and has opened for Jimmy Smith and Curtis Fuller at the Ocho Rios Jamaica Jazz Festival. In addition to concert performances, the band also performs regularly for several Swing Dance groups, and makes appearances in schools, colleges, and universities.
The band can present a well-rounded entertaining jazz show, or can perform “A Night with Louis Armstrong.” Spending an evening with the band is more than just a fun evening of Louis’ tunes. In between songs the band tells anecdotes and personal recollections of Louis, and other jazz greats, so the performances are fun, humorous, and educational as well. And the band also plays a wide selection of varied jazz classics. One recent audience member said it best..... “ It was like taking a time machine back and hearing Louis’ band live!”
Jon Seiger is an unique performer in many ways. He is one of very few younger jazz musicians who specializes in the older styles of jazz, and has played with many jazz greats. He can sound exactly like Louis Armstrong. He is also a deaf man, which makes the performances even more unique, well-received, and brings added attention from the media and press. Jon and the band love what they do, and love preserving the legacy of Louis. This comes through in their performances, making them stand out above other traditional jazz bands playing today.
