Jun 02 : "Lorimer". - The Pendulum Swings (Brooklyn)

Big Band Entertainment! Loved their show. A big surprise at last Wednesday's visit to Pianos was Jason Trachtenburg and his big band "The Pendulum Swings". Eight band members including a whole brass SECTION! While I knew that there were multiple band members in the outfit, my new computer wasn't up and running til right before, so I was barely acquainted with most of the bands playing that night.

Yes, there's a brass section! They had a tenor sax, alto sax, trumpet, and trombone. And rounding out the outfit is a bass guitar, drums, an accordion, and Jason doing vocals and guitar. The band has a smooth musical style as well as stage presence. Jason's persona took over the room.

They played a good collection of songs including "Lorimer", which is one of their standards and was featured back in 2013 in a You-Tube video, which is right here :::






In addition to leading "The Pendulum Swings", Jason Trachtenburg is doing food videos. From last month, here is "Vegan Miso Lemon Tahini Dressing".






The Pendulum Swings doesn't have any other shows coming up in our area, but here is a click to their Facebook page so you can watch for the next date ::: The Pendulum Swings on Facebook (CLICK HERE).
