About George Gee:

WEB:  WWW.GEORGEGEE.COM

Since beginning his swing career in 1980 on the campus of Carnegie-Mellon
University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - George's big band has been busy
spreading the gospel of swing throughout the land. With the current manic
swing revival, both the Make Believe Ballroom Orchestra (MBBO) and the
Jump, Jive, and Wilers (JJW), are enjoying appreciative responses from
swing and jazz lovers throughout. The MBBO's debut CD, "Swingin' Live!" on
SWING46 Records (released in July of 1998) has been selling steadily and
is featured on over 3500 radio stations across the world. Look for The
JJW's debut recording, "Buddha Boogie," scheduled for release at the end
of May.

The bands stay true to the jump swing style of two of George's biggest
musical influences - Count Basie and Lionel Hampton. As the world's only
professional Chinese-American swing bandleader, George's twist on
bandleading guarantees an evening of 40s-redux cornballness, backed by a
band that swings you to goods health! In fact, all the musicians have
gained experience in top bands, such as Basie, Hampton, Ellington, Goodman
and even Machito (to name a few).

Recent tours have encompassed the West Coast from San Diego all the way to
Seattle. East Coast stops have included Pittsburgh, Providence (RI), West
Virginia, Boston and Philadelphia. Future tours will bring the band to
Japan, Chicago, Detroit, Orlando, Austin, Dallas and surely, a swing hotbed
of activity near you!

When you are in New York City (and us, too!), come and swing with us every
Wednesday night at Louisiana Community Bar & Grill (622 Broadway) from 10pm
to 12pm with the Jump, Jive & Wailers. The majestic Make-Believe Ballroom
Orchestra has a residency at SWING46 Jazz & Supper Club (349 West 46th
Street) every Thursday evening from 10pm to 1am.
