Bio / Background

LARRY ELGART

Larry Elgart has revitalized swing music throughout the ’90s and into the new millennium. His

“Hooked on Swing” album of standard swing tunes with a contemporary dance beat has sold 5

million copies worldwide to date, making it the largest selling swing or big band record in history.

Elgart’s diverse musical talent emerged at an early age. By the time he was 17, he was on the road

playing in the bands of Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman’s first herd, Bobby Bryne, Jack Benny, Joe

Marsala, Charlie Spicak and Red Norvo. In 1952, Larry and his brother formed their own orchestra

and with their first Columbia recording, “Sophisticated Swing,” they were an overnight sensation. The

band began touring universities and ballrooms and soon became known as America’s #1 College

Prom Favorite.

The unique style of the band was then, as it is today, built around Larry’s graceful sound and stylistic

phrasing, known as the Elgart touch.

He shapes the contours of an arrangement to fit his alto sax,

making it his own distinctive interpretation. There is no mistaking Larry’s musical stamp on whatever

the orchestra plays. Further addition to the orchestra’s identity is the pianoless rhythm section, the

non-muted rich brass, emphasized by the bass trombone and the use of a percussionist augmenting

the drums.

The Elgart Touch has distinguished itself throughout the years. An album by that name was one of

the five best selling albums in the first ten years of the long playing record. In 1959, “New Sounds at

the Roosevelt” won the coveted Grammy in the first year of the Naras Awards. This album has been

reissued in 1995 under the title “Let My People Swing”.

The phenomenal success of the Hooked on Swing series (3 volumes) not only enables Larry to

continue to satisfy his dancing fans, but he now delights listening audiences at the major concert

halls in the United States and Canada with his Hooked On Swing show. As 1990 approached, Larry

Elgart expanded his horizons to Australia. The Australians warmly welcomed him in concerts at the

Victoria Arts Centre in Melbourne and the magnificent Sydney Opera House. In 1992, Larry was

invited back to Melbourne as the only American artist to perform for the Prime Minister’s Olympic Ball

which raised over one million dollars to send the Australian athletes to the Barcelona Olympic Games.

In 1995, the Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena, California ended its 20-year reign as a jewel in the

crown of American cultural centers. It was an honor and a privilege for Larry Elgart and his orchestra

to be chosen to perform this historical final concert. In 1998, Larry released his 55th album, his first

live concert album entitled “Live from the Ambassador”. His most recent album has a distinct Latin

flavor that has become so popular. Larry is so “smooth” with the album “Latin Obsession”.

As Larry explains his lifelong passion, “I’ve always been hooked on swing. It is a valid musical form

and, as such, endures…always taking on new shapes and colors, whereby new generations can relate

to it. It is the kind of music people react to – actively and positively. It is a happy form of music. The

music of the Swing Era was fun then, and still is now!”
