The Jive Aces
What a night from the Jive Aces! With bright yellow suits, fifties hairstyles and buckets of pizzazz they sure know how to get the place jumping and move the crowd to boogie woogie. The peppy first set included 'Shake, Rattle and Roll', 'Sweet Georgia Brown' and 'Boogie Woogie Country Girl', but it was in the second that they really went to town. Special guest Toni Elizabeth Prima did four numbers, and then her mother, the great Keely Smith, duetted 'In The Mood For Love' with Jive Ace front man Ian Clarkson. They are a little exaggerated, and Clarkson can be a bit affected, but anyone who's ever appreciated that fifties sound should catch this outfit when they can.
