Peter Petty is a Sacramento, CA based band leader that tests (and coins) the adage “There are no small rooms...” Charged with the singular mission of reinterpreting music that scintillates, syncopates, and sometimes even educates, Mr. Petty swings out with the frenetic elegance of a Tasmanian devil in a tuxedo, leading some of the finest stewards of traditional jazz in the area to piggyback on the swinging shoulders of such giants of the genre as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, and Cab Calloway. Then he leaps over to stomp all over the coat-tails of legends like Ray Charles, Louis Prima, Roy Orbison, Shirley Bassey, Tom Waits, and David Bowie, singing every note of his 3 2/3 octave range with inexhaustible power and captivating control. Throwing out novelized lyrics, and many original tunes, it’s an infectious, eclectic, electric, acoustic mash-up that not only connects the dots between seemingly disparate musical genres, and artists, but does it with an adventurous and hilarious theatricality that entertains the “swell” out of audiences of all ages. So, Let's go see what da Man wit' Da Flop is doin’ at the jumpin'est, jivin'ist, great-gosh-alive-inist Swing spot in town, ‘cause the incomparable jazz tumult that is Peter Petty & his Titans of Terpsichore! is goin' be mad-muggin' you upside your head, and rattlin' your bones back down the other side, as you tear it up to the most sinfully scintillated splendiferosity you EVER hoped to syncopate!
