Jazz Meets Jive, Pavilion Theatre, Worthing, Jan 29 (From The Argus)
Jazz Meets Jive, Pavilion Theatre, Worthing, Jan 29
11:52am Monday 1st February 2010
Whatever the biting cold outside inflicted on the audience, the blistering heat generated by The Jive Aces’ opening number soon dissipated the effect.
The high-energy band, endlessly moving around in their yellow suits, provided non-stop performances of 1950s music – a case of Bill Haley meets Big Band Swing.
Their attempts at comedy sadly fell flat and the band should stick to what they do best – music.
Highlights included a boogie-woogie number with the pianist emulating the antics of Jerry Lee Lewis, and a sizzling version of Sing! Sing! Sing! which provided a glorious end to their set.
Topping the bill was jazz legend Kenny Ball – long past bus pass age and still blowing up a storm after more than 50 years of leading a band.
He showed no fear in hitting the high notes.
Amongst jazz standards including That’s A Plenty and Someday You’ll Be Sorry, past hits Sukiyaki and Midnight In Moscow came across with a freshness that was lacking in the hackneyed Jungle Book Song.
A swinging drum solo and a thrilling jazz version of Bach’s Toccata proved highly popular, with both bands combining for the finale – a version of The Beatles’ All You Need Is Love.

Great 5 star review from the Argus for the Worthing Jazz Meets Jive!

The Jive Aces News Jan '10
Hi there everyone,
Aces Are OK!
Some hot news, fresh off the presses - The Jive Aces are featured in the last weeks copy of “OK” magazine. The band was photographed with X Factor singer Rhydian at the Berkeley Square Ball in London after being requested personally by Vince Power, entrepreneur and owner of the Pigalle Club and organiser of the event.
This top international Charity event raises money for the Princes' Trust. Also featured in the magazine are some of the guests that were entertained by the Aces at the star-studded bash including David Haye, Russell Brand, Anna Friel and Gwen Stefani amongst many others.
After the ball, the band headed straight off the Pigalle Club in Piccadilly to perform to a packed house for the official after party.
London Gets The Rhythm
What better way to start off the year than to spend the entire day outdoors in sub-zero temperatures filming a music video. Well, we couldn't think of one either so that's exactly what we did for our forthcoming single release for the song "London Rhythm" from our latest album, "Recipe For Rhythm"!
Starting at 6:00am on a rooftop in front of St Paul's in the City and progressing through various locations as the day went on including the Millennium Bridge, Southwark, Westminster and ending off as the light faded from usefulness in Marble Arch with a lot of pigeons (who may even make it into the edit, you never know!). We had a blast filming our biggest and highest budget production yet and we have lots more ideas for future videos lined up too.
Along for the shoot were Scott and Tanya from Swing Patrol who braved the cold and death defying rooftop heights to pull off some killer moves over the city and also the inimitable Mr and Mrs Hartley (aka GI-Jive) in their finest character performances yet!
The raw footage looks great and the video is being edited soon and will be released along with the single of "London Rhythm" in the near future and as soon as we have a date, you'll be the first to know.
Check out some of the stills here.

After storming the BBC London studios for a now traditional Christmas morning performance, Joanne Good demanded that the band become her "house band" on her new late night show.
