Swing & Hot Jazz small orchestra (8 musicians) with original arrangements of classics from the 20s and 30s based in Amsterdam.

A jump back to the roaring 20's and 30's, when the music of New Orleans provided a hodgepodge of sounds from a plethora of cultures. Back then, the music was hot and swinging and grabbed everyone's attention, leaving them no choice but to dance and enjoy themselves.
Roaring Cats is a great contemporary example for the fusion of different identities and musical ideas in the genre that dominated the charts for years.
The band is based in Amsterdam and consists of: Sam Ghezzi on vocals, Ian Cleaver on trumpet, Mo van der Does on clarinet, Gideon Tazelaar on tenor saxophone along with the rhythm section formed by Davor Stehlik on guitar and banjo, Tomek van Leeuwen on upright bass and sousaphone and Joe Korach on drums.

Their repertoire consists of original arrangements of the finest tunes from the top artists of the day: from Fats Waller to Jelly Roll Morton and Sydney Bechet, Duke Ellington to the Hot Five and Five Pennies. The above-mentioned gentlemen are specialized in performing beautiful notes for hyperactive swing dancers and for sedentary drinkers.
