Bandleader George Gee and the Big Band Celebrates 40th Year Anniversary 1980 - 2020


Happy New Year from all of us here with The George Gee Swing Orchestra. We are ecstatic to announce the launch of our 40th Anniversary swingin’ and spreading the Big Band Sound to audiences throughout the world. From our humble beginnings on the campus of Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA way back in the Spring of 1980 to currently extending our 23 years (so far) residency at Times Square (NYC) hottest swing jazz nightspot - SWING46 Jazz & Supper Club here now in 2020. Plans are in motion for a very special year-long celebration of this four-decade milestone, with special tour itineraries, memoirs and endless blogging - to name a few!

But to kick-off the festivities, The George Gee Swing Orchestra will be making their long-awaited debut at one of NYC’s most popular regular weekend swing dances at Swing Remix this Saturday, January 11th. Join Us!

Who would’ve thunk that way back in the last century, in May of 1997, when we first took the stage at SWING46 Jazz & Supper Club on a Tuesday evening - it would parlay into one of NYC’s longest regular weekly Big Band engagement! Now it is 2019 and we are ready to embark on our 22nd consecutive year of entertaining en mass a wide variety of local and global swing music and dance lovers. Not since the heydays of the original 1940 Swing Era, has an NYC nightclub so loyally dedicate its style and ambiance to cater to the classic Big Band Sound, for both listening and dancing.

Swing, Don’t Run…down to SWING46 on a Tuesday for a swingin’est, jumpin’est, heppest night of Big Band Fun with The George Gee Swing Orchestra, always featuring vocalists John Dokes and Shenel Johns - 830pm to 1130pm. Dance Lesson after the first set by dance pros Tony and Jaime!

We dare you not to tap your feet and smile :)
