The Jive Aces are widely recognized as the United Kingdom’s leading jive and swing band, known for their high-energy performances, sharp presentation, and exceptional musicianship. Blending classic swing, jump blues, jive, and early rock ’n’ roll influences, the band has built an international following with appearances ranging from London’s West End to major jazz and swing festivals across the United States and Europe.
Their vibrant stage style — bright yellow suits, driving brass arrangements, and animated showmanship — has become their trademark. The band has appeared on television, including a semi-finalist run on Britain’s Got Talent, and has performed for audiences that include Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The Jive Aces’ repertoire draws from the great swing and jump-blues traditions of artists such as Louis Prima, Cab Calloway, and Big Joe Turner, alongside original material that keeps the classic swing sound fresh for modern audiences. Their shows are known for combining musical excellence with genuine entertainment, engaging audiences of all ages and often turning the entire room into a dance floor.
With an active international touring schedule that spans continents, The Jive Aces continue to serve as enthusiastic ambassadors for swing music — presenting a joyful, energetic style that keeps the tradition alive for new generations.

“The Jive Aces' New Year's Eve show at the Coliseum in St. Pete was the best show I saw in all of 2017 — and I don’t even dance.”— Charlie Boyer, Jazz & Blues Florida
The historic St. Petersburg Coliseum has long been one of Florida’s most recognized dance halls, and it provides the perfect setting for The Jive Aces’ dynamic live show. Their powerful brass sound, fast-paced rhythm section, and animated performance style are well suited to the Coliseum’s spacious ballroom and lively dance crowd.
The band has appeared at the venue multiple times — including popular New Year’s events — and their performances consistently draw enthusiastic responses from both dancers and concert listeners.
