The New Flamingo Swing Orchestra

  • Bocci's Cellar 140 Encinal Street Santa Cruz, CA, 95060 United States (map)

The New Flamingo Swing Orchestra is at it again!  This is by far one of the best swing bands on the West Coast. Lead by arranger extraordinaire, Mr. Richard Fenno, this is not to be missed!  

Saxophonist/arranger Richard Fenno graduated from UCSC and played in the legendary Cabrillo College Jazz Ensemble of the mid-1970s. The son of composer/arranger Dick Fenno, he toured with Stan Kenton, the Modernaires and the Glenn Miller Orchestra, as well as with Princess Cruises and Cunard Lines. He started the New Flamingo Swing Orchestra soon after he relocated to Los Angeles in 1979. All of the arrangements the NFSO plays were written by him over the course of these many years, in southern California, in Austin, and, finally, Santa Cruz.
