Royal Crown Revue Often imitated, but rarely matched, RCR has pioneered, over its fifteen-ye 2003 saw the inclusion of the band’s music in the following films: “The Cat in Hat,” “Something’s Gotta Give” (which took its title from RCR’s version of the classic standard), as well as the TV series “Wonder Falls.” In 2004, RCR will release its seventh album (tentatively entitled Greetings from Hollywood), and has plans to return to both Australia and Europe. The RCR horn section will spend the first three months of 2004 on the road with Bette Midler as an integral part of the “Kiss My Brass” tour (Bette’s first outing in over four years). With a fifteen-year career and literally thousands of shows under its collective belt, today's ROYAL CROWN REVUE is a finely tuned alchemy of jazz and jump, an elegant blend of everything from be-bop to gut-bucket blues. In addition to Nichols, Dorame, Steen, and Glass, the current lineup includes three New York jazz veterans: multi-reed wizard Jim Jedeikin, Mark Cally on guitar, and Dave Miller on bass. Here for the long haul, it should be readily apparent to anyone with an eye (and ear) for talent that ROYAL CROWN REVUE will be integrating our country's musical past long into tomorrow's musical future.
