Brian Setzer has sold millions of records throughout his career. He has built a reputation as one of the world's most respected guitarists and even supervised the launch of his own series of Gretsch "Brian Setzer Model" signature guitars, including last year's new "Black Phoenix" model. Yet even with his Gretsch affiliation, the Gibson guitar company has singled him out for a prestigious Orville H. Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award.
Brian Setzer Orchestra is an ensemble of world-class musicians, playing state-of-the-art charts, and blowing away jazz hipsters as well as families celebrating the holiday. Their sound, as groundbreaking as the rockabilly revival that Setzer had launched previously with the Stray Cats, earned three Grammy Awards, two for Best Pop Instrumental Performance ("Sleepwalk," from the multi-platinum The Dirty Boogie in 1998 and "Caravan," from VaVoom, in 2000) and one for Best Pop Performance ("Jump, Jive an' Wail," also from The Dirty Boogie, 1998).
Critics are dazzled by Brian Setzer Orchestra's unprecedented fusion of big-band swing and rock swagger: After staggering home from a Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas show, a journalist declared, "The show was more than an extravaganza. It was a party-in every sense of the word."
