✨JAZZVILLE✨presents The Jive Aces, renowned worldwide for their high-energy spectacular showmanship. Witness the UK’s No.1 Jive & Swing band live in Palm Springs!
​
The in-demand sextet average 300 shows a year and have worked with Van Morrison, Keely Smith and performed for HM the Queen. They headlined and sold-out the Royal Albert Hall and thousands of festivals, theatres, dance halls, etc, in 35 countries.
​
Their new albums "Diggin' The Roots Vol.1 Rockin' Rhythm & Blues" and "Vol.2: Hot Jazz" are a journey into the two branches of music that makes up the Jive Aces signature sound, proving that vintage music is very much timelessly classic.
​
The Jive Aces wowed the judges on Britain’s Got Talent with their show-stopping version of “I Wanna Be Like You”, which famously cheered up a grumpy Simon Cowell. Their most popular music video, “Bring Me Sunshine”, is a viral hit with nearly 3 million views on Youtube and has won seven film festival awards. It’s so uplifting it’s actually been prescribed by a doctor.

True to their speakeasy vibe, the band first began performing in a legendary, secret club in L.A. Word-of-mouth about their incredible live shows quickly spread, and soon they were headlining some of the top venues in town (the Wiltern, El Rey, and Troubadour) before they'd even released any music.
Wailing horns, killer vocals, and a lethal rhythm section, this band channels the electrifying swagger of 20s and 30s big band making it feel new and modern through a mixture of originals and re-imagined vintage gems.

I would not be able to do this if not for the people who still love this music like I do. So, I thank them for giving me the joy to entertain them.”
