History


Setzer grew up in Long Island, New York. In his youth, he played the euphonium and other brass instruments in school jazz bands. In the 1970s, he found ways to hear jazz and big band music at the Village Vanguard, but he was also drawn to blues, rock, punk, and rockabilly. He admired the jump blues of Louis Prima and Big Joe Turner, but also the rock and roll of Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, and Carl Perkins.[1]

During the early 1980s, he led the rockabilly trio the Stray Cats and found popular and commercial success. After the band broke up, Setzer worked as a side man and on a solo career. In 1994, he released the debut album of the Brian Setzer Orchestra, which combined his rockabilly style with swing, big band, and jump blues. The orchestra had a hit on the Billboard singles chart with its cover version of "Jump, Jive an' Wail" by Louis Prima.[1]


Activities


The BSO often plays during the December holidays covering Christmas songs, and plays the Rockefeller Center tree-lighting ceremony. Setzer tunes have been used in commercials.[2]

The Brian Setzer Orchestra es una orquesta de swing, rockabilly, psychobilly y otros subgéneros musicales formada en 1990 por Brian Setzer, cantante y guitarrista virtuoso de la popular banda rockabilly Stray Cats. Es una de las bandas más destacadas del estilo conocido como Swing Revival o Neoswing, basado en rescatar el sonido swing de los años 40 y 50 del siglo XX fusionado con otros estilos más modernos. Se distingue de otras bandas del género (normalmente compuestas por guitarra, contrabajo, batería, trompeta, saxo y trombón) por su gran cantidad de instrumentos de viento, contando con cuatro trompetas, cuatro trombones y cinco saxofones. De esta manera logra un gran vigor en los ¨ataques¨ y melodías. La orquesta saltó a la fama con su sencillo ¨Jump Jive An' Wail¨ una canción de Louis Prima y es una de las pocas bandas de Neoswing que ha sobrevivido a los 90 manteniendo su éxito. Participaron en varias películas, tocaron en Woodstock 99, y aparecieron varias veces en diversos shows de TV.
