Louis Prima Jr & The Witnesses to Deliver a Prima Style Performance at the Palace Danbury

Louis Prima Jr. and The Witnesses 
Will Jump, Jive, an' Wail "Prima Style"
At Danbury's Palace Theatre Saturday, July 16th
 
Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses are bringing Prima music into the 21st century. Not content to sit on the legacy they so passionately protect, LPJ and the band are taking a page from his father's playbook, by wailing Prima Swing like it's 2016
 
Born into an undeniable musical legacy, Louis Prima Jr. picks up the torch lit by his iconic father and leads his incarnation of The Witnesses headfirst into the future.Their seamless blend of hard driving big band jazz, insanely danceable swing and real rock n' roll has been wowing crowds worldwide for over a decade.
 
Make no mistake, this is no tribute act. Although the band most certainly Jumps, Jives, an' Wails "Prima-style," they are their own musical beast - thoroughly modern, laying down a blueprint for the future on the foundations of the past. 
 
Audiences will be treated to an evening of classics from the Louis Prima catalog, selections from LPJ & Co.'s two CDs (Return of the Wildest and BLOW) and a healthy dose of sure-to-please surprises. 
 
Equal parts bandleader and ringmaster, Prima Jr. brilliantly distills the finest elements of his father's five-decade career through a contemporary filter, adding his own indelible stamp. "This is the happiest music on Earth!" he enthuses. "My father was rock n' roll; Mozart was rock n' roll. It's a state of mind; I don't think it's a genre of music. It's how aggressively do you play and do you play it like you mean it." And The Witnesses mean it. From Passaic to Palermo and Seattle to Sicily, they're playing Prima music with new energy and attitude to match. It's The Wildest Show this side of the '60s!
