The Sunrise Jazz Orchestra is the big band born in 1993 in the historical Philharmonic Society Michelangiolo Paoli, founded in Campi Bisenzio in 1816.

After a monographic project on the music of George Gerswin, it is currently composed of 22 elements.
It proposes the concert "Cotton Club Mood", a setlist of songs from the '30s.

In that period the famous Cotton Club, in the heart of Harlem, opened in 1923 and closed in 1936, and contributed to the launch of the careers of musicians such as Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway, who with their orchestras opened the way to the era of ballrooms.
This is the so-called "swing era," which dominated the American music scene until World War II.
The Sunrise Jazz Orchestra, through the beautiful voice of Sybil Smoot and the transcriptions faithful to those sounds, brings us back to that atmosphere full of suggestions of the prohibition era, delicious compositions for listening and full of enthralling swing to dance.
