Let's Jump, Jive, an’ Wail because Louis Prima Jr and The Witnesses are coming to Danbury on Friday, Nov 10!
Louis Prima Jr. picks up the torch lit by his iconic father, renowned bandleader, Louis Prima, whose career spanned four decades with hits like “Jump Jive and Wail,” “Angelina,” “Just A Gigolo,” “That Old Black Magic,” “When Your Smilin” and “Sing, Sing, Sing.”
Prima Jr and his powerhouse 8-piece band, the Witnesses, are reviving the boogie-woogie spirit for a modern generation, seamlessly blending big band jazz, swing and real rock 'n' roll.
“My goal was to create a show in my father’s style but with a contemporary vibe,” LPJ says. "You can’t fool the fans by trying to force the word ‘daddy-o’ into every song. If music does not come honestly from your soul, it will ultimately be short-lived.”
The Palace Danbury is located at 165 Main Street, in Danbury, Connecticut. Free parking is readily available for theatre patrons in the parking lot behind the building. For more information about this and all upcoming shows visit www.thepalacedanbury.com
