SWING 42 (featuring Byron Atkins)
Catch Swing 42 at Starrs Live on Thursday, July 29 (8:30PM-11:30PM) for some unique exciting music of artistic significance. Starrs Live is located at 307 E. Markham above St. Pascual's Restaurant.
Swing 42 provides lively, sophisticated music for intimate nightspots with an instrumentation of flute, sax and guitar, plus bass and drums.
Their presentation is a varied one: Brazilian bossa novas and sambas, gentle waltzes, gypsy and straight-ahead jazz and romantic balladsÉÉall performed in their own unique style.
Guitarist Byron Atkins observed the time-honored jazzer's tradition of soaking up l'ambiance of Paris. He played in cafes with gypsy musicians who played in the Django Reinhardt style. He kept his edge on American jazz performing in jazz clubs in Denmark like Club Vognporten in Copenhagen.
Flutist-saxist Barry McVinney is an exciting soloist and performer who is comfortable in a variety of styles. Buck Powell, Little Rock's own multi-instrumentalist, is on bass. Ted Seibs, a drummer who played with Gary Burton and John Scofield during his days in Boston, provides all the right textures and rhythms for Swing 42.
