Band: Ray Abrams Big Swing Band

image

This highly professional swing band, which actually started in the 50’s, under the vision of Hank Dougherty, was acquired by Brooklyn’s famous jazz saxophonist and prolific arranger, Ray Abrams. Ray passed on in 1997, but the band continues to entertain lovers of swing and classic-jazz. The 17 members of the band consistently recreate the unforgettable hard swinging, finger-snapping, toe-tapping sounds of the greatest swing-bands of the 40’s and 50’s. Our musical arrangements feature many of the band’s exceptional soloist, as well as swinging vocals and a fine selection of love ballads, uniquely sung by our featured vocalist, Tulivu-Donna Cumberbatch.

image

The band’s library of musical arrangements, is lengthy and well rounded, ranging from the still modern sounding charts created by founder, Ray Abrams, to the swinging big-band charts from the minds of arrangers like Sam Nestico, Quincy Jones, Sy Oliver, Neal Hefti, and so many others. This valued musical library supports the bands ability to create a well-rounded program of classic-jazz as played by the bands of Basie, Ellington, Hawkins, Foster, Hampton, etc.

The band’s unique ability to perform to the spirit of the music and to swing at the drop of a hat, is consistently nourished by the very dedicated skills of the band’s leader, Ervin Simpson, who has led the band since 1998. No doubt, this ability to swing the most beloved songs from The Classic American Jazz Songbook, explains why the band continues to maintain a growing presence on LI and in the tri-state area.

Band: Ray Abrams Big Swing Band

image

This highly professional swing band, which actually started in the 50’s, under the vision of Hank Dougherty, was acquired by Brooklyn’s famous jazz saxophonist and prolific arranger, Ray Abrams. Ray passed on in 1997, but the band continues to entertain lovers of swing and classic-jazz. The 17 members of the band consistently recreate the unforgettable hard swinging, finger-snapping, toe-tapping sounds of the greatest swing-bands of the 40’s and 50’s. Our musical arrangements feature many of the band’s exceptional soloist, as well as swinging vocals and a fine selection of love ballads, uniquely sung by our featured vocalist, Tulivu-Donna Cumberbatch.

image

The band’s library of musical arrangements, is lengthy and well rounded, ranging from the still modern sounding charts created by founder, Ray Abrams, to the swinging big-band charts from the minds of arrangers like Sam Nestico, Quincy Jones, Sy Oliver, Neal Hefti, and so many others. This valued musical library supports the bands ability to create a well-rounded program of classic-jazz as played by the bands of Basie, Ellington, Hawkins, Foster, Hampton, etc.

The band’s unique ability to perform to the spirit of the music and to swing at the drop of a hat, is consistently nourished by the very dedicated skills of the band’s leader, Ervin Simpson, who has led the band since 1998. No doubt, this ability to swing the most beloved songs from The Classic American Jazz Songbook, explains why the band continues to maintain a growing presence on LI and in the tri-state area.

Friday, Nov 9, 2007 • TGIF @ BROOKHAVEN - Tango / Rumba Line Dance • BNL

Posted by Tom on 11/05/2007 • Permalink


This coming Friday, Nov. 9th, BNL is having a “break” from their normal “partner” dancing lessons routine. Line dance lessons in “Argentine Tango”, and “Rumba” will be given by the well-known and popular line dance instructor & choreographer, SHERRY PALENCIA!

For the past 20 years, Sherry Palencia has become a well-known personality in the world of Line Dancing.  Her talent as an Entertainer and her fame as a Dance Instructor have taken her from the Lincoln Center in New York to numerous engagements across the country.  When dancing with her husband Ricky, they comprise a graceful and talented duo. Their masterful interpretation of the dance is entertaining and extremely enjoyable to watch.

Sherry’s personable method of instruction allows the participant to learn in a relaxed atmosphere, brought about by her enthusiasm and sense of humor.

In Sherry’s programs, you never make a mistake, but are being “creative”.  A mis-step may evoke the comment, “The other left foot”. This congenial teaching method puts everyone at ease and appeals to beginners who feel they are attaining “Instant Success”.

First time dancers forget their inexperience and simply enjoy dancing with her.  Students become her friends and tend to follow her from area to area.

It is never necessary to have a partner, since a combination of “Line” dances and “Mixers” ensures that everyone has a chance to participate. When Sherry says, “Let’s dance!” everybody dances!

In addition to Line dancing, Sherry and her talented husband Rick, are favorites on the floor with their interpretation of Two Step, Tango or West Coast Swing.

By the way, Sherry is currently the Prime Mover of the Argentine Tango Lovers of Long Island. They hold regular weekly lessons on Tuesdays at Mirelle’s in Westbury, and a social Milonga every last Sunday of the month.
