Modern Bride
names Manhattan Swing Orchestra as one of the
Best Bands in the Country.national issue
MANHATTANSWING (212) 769-3600 www.manhattanswing.com
Joe Bonaccimusical director
HALF MOON BAY, the hot new CD
recorded by the band “SOCA JOE”
was born from the vision of the
masterful guitarist, Joe Bonacci,
leader/founder of “SOCA JOE” and
the Manhattan Swing Orchestras.
He brings to this CD the musical
richness and diversity that can only
come from the cultivation of a wide
variety of musical experiences.
Those experiences include
completing tracks with Yoko Ono
on John Lennon's last album, live
performances with the legendary
“mambo king”, Tito Puente, John
Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet,
Freddie Hubbard and numerous
renowned artists. Joe’s work can
also be found in a variety of
records, TV themes and
commercials.
This time around “SOCA JOE” is
made up of some of the most
dynamic and esteemed session
players and artists in New York City
including David Mann, Gary
Haase, Primadonna (Queen Of The
Carnival) and Spyda. Half Moon Bay
is infused with cool sophistication
coupled with individualistic musical
expression. The result is a uniquely
fresh and musical journey that
embraces a new and different
dimension in contemporary music.
“Sit back, light your candles,
take your shoes off, close your
eyes, relax, and enjoy the cool
sounds”
- SOCA JOE

"it was so crowded on the dance floor that I barely! ! ! !had
room to cut a rug...your music lifted the! ! ! ! hearts & feet of
everyone…"

gimmicks are used...you & your colleagues conveyed a quiet
confidence & a "magic" that propelled our guests onto the
dance floor...we were not cognizant how great you really are! "
"your caring, concern, support & guidance were consistent &

Special Features and
frequently asked questions
1. What size is the band?
! Our average band is 8
pieces:! female vocalist, guitar, male
vocalist, piano/keyboard, bass,
trumpet, sax/flute and drums. We do
suggest adding a 2nd female vocalist,
it gives the orchestra more exciting
entertainment possibilities and
possibly a 3rd horn, trombone, which
gives the horns a lot more punch and
our latin percussionist adds the
rhythmic drive so many dance
records have.
2. What should we do for the
cocktail hour?
! Jazz guitar & bass or piano &
saxophone is a great jazzy
combination for an upbeat cocktail
hour.
3. What do you suggest for the
ceremony?
! We like our String Trio which
consists of: flute, violin and cello. This
ensemble usually performs for the
ceremony hour. They play while your
guests arrive and are being seated
then through the actual ceremony.
After, they play lively recessional
music as your guests proceed to
cocktails.
! !
4. Do you play a hora?
! Absolutely and a great hora
at that! Manhattan Swing is adept at
all international dances.
5. Would you learn a special
request?
" Yes. We’d be glad to prepare
a few songs that might not be in our
repertoire.
6. My parents don’t like loud
music, what can be done?
! We know exactly what you
mean. This is a social event as well as
a dance so the right blend of soft
dinner music interspersed with lively
dance music allows everyone to enjoy
the party.
We’re versatile.
We’re very New York.
* RHYTHM SENATION’s female
vocalist was crowned “QUEEN OF
THE CARNIVAL” in her native St.
Vincent, 5 years running, an
incredible achievement! The most
spirited & exciting performer you’ll
ever experience.
* Our Percussionist is an
extraordinarily talented performer,
singing in 3 languages; Portuguese,
Spanish & English. He’ll move
people to join him on the dance
floor with his infectiously rhythmic
performance; hot dance, disco,
salsa tunes along with the softer
Brazilian Bossa Nova sound, it‘s
fabulous.
* Our BARRY WHITE stylist is so
soulful so sensational, without peer
and utterly outstanding, you just
“Can’t Get Enough”!
* Not to mention our swingin’
SINATRA stylist,
along with our renown orchestra,
there’s nothing comparable.
Rat Pack to Hip Hop, Contemporary
to Classic.
