Don Neely and the ten piece Royal Society Jazz Orchestra, from San Francisco, are renowned for authentically capturing the exciting sound of Big Band Swing, Hot Syncopated Jazz, Blues, and music of the Cotton Club. Innovators such as Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Paul Whiteman, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Bix Biederbecke, and Louis Armstrong are among the RSJO's inspirations. Yet, you will discover immediately upon seeing them live or listening to their recordings, that the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra has an intriguing personality and style of its own. Dancers are electrified by the sound of the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra. Songs in their repertoire include those written by George Gershwin, Fats Waller, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter, Walter Donaldson, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer and many others from Tin Pan Alley, Broadway, Vaudeville, and the Silver Screen.
We are proud to announce the arrival of our new recording Deja Vu? ![]() A few
years back, Don Neely felt inspired and emboldened to try his hand at song
writing. With encouragement from friends and audiences alike, Don developed
his talents. Deja Vu? is a unique and entertaining collection
of melodic songs by Mr. Neely that worm their way happily into one's brain
and stay there for weeks. They've received great appreciation at many recent
events including an evening concert under the coastal redwoods, and a Grand
Ball at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite, for the Heritage Holidays, (Fabulous
annual three-day event which celebrated vintage western style in music,
clothing, art, and architecture). Singing with the RSJO on the rousing
Hetch Hetchy and others is Tom Bopp, music man at the Wawona Hotel, and
Yosemite historian. The RSJO has never sounded better, and plays with heart-stirring
spirit and finesse. You'll enjoy scintillating vocals by Carla Normand,
Don Neely, and Frederick Hodges. Additional Don Neely songs can be heard
on CDs Sweet and Low-Down and Jump Start. Compact
Disc Only.
