I'm a jazz/swing vocalist, mostly along the lines of Sinatra, but also incorporate Cole, Martin, Fitzgerald, Torme, Darin, Williams, Monro etc etc etc - most Rats from the pack and would-be's.
Although I play keyboards, I can't sing and play at the same time (unlike Nat, who was a master at it!)
I'd like to find a band/group that plays the kind of music akin to the Rat Pack era mostly.
I've busked with backing tracks, but it ain't the same. I often sing with the Sunshine Coast Concert Band, a 30+ pc brass & wind ensemble that plays for charity and NFP events, and is mostly comprised of elderly musicians - no offence at all!
I sound a helluva lot like Frank, Dino or Nat when doing their stuff, so I'd love to find some sort of a tribute band that can play the music as arranged by Riddle, Jones, Ellington, Basie, Kern etc. and with that kind of passion.
