HB Radke And The Jet City Swingers

Band,
Jazz

HB Radke has performed for over thirty of his forty years. A whiz on the trumpet at the age of 6, HB played his first gig with Connie Stevens and Rich Little. With the helpful tutelage of HB's father, former Harry James lead trumpeter Fred Radke, he started his own big band just a year and a half later. The HB Radke Orchestra became an instant hit in the Seattle area. Local TV performances ultimately led to command performances for Presidents' Ronald Reagan and George Bush, as well as national TV shows. As HB grew older so did the band. He studied at the Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, and took a side trip into the world of Disco and House music production. It wasn't long before he went back to his true love...Swing. It was during his re-immersion into jazz that HB started singing...
