The Roots of Elvis - T1022627191The Jive Aces are the UK's number one Jive and Swing band. They met and came together with a common love for American Roots Music; Jive, Swing, Jazz, Blues and Rock 'n' Roll. When asked in interviews how they came upon and got into this genre of music as teenagers in southern England they always tell the same story - that it was through the door opened by Elvis Presley, the King of Rock 'n' Roll. This is not a tribute show, but a labour of love. As the Jive Aces go back to their teenage years to shine a spotlight on the music that is not only their roots, but the roots and inspiration of Elvis and the original Rock 'n' Roll movement. Relax and drift back to the America of the early 1950s and soak in the sounds that inspired the King. | |
