notes

Michael Andrew has always loved swing music. In1990, he formed "The Michael Andrew Orchestras" with the goal of providing timeless music in the style of the big bands of the forties and in the tradition of popular singers like Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra.

In 1993, the world famous Rainbow Room in New York City invited Michael to become their headlining singer and band leader where he performed 5 to 6 nights a week for over two years. In the summer of '96 audiences and critics raved about his "hi-fi,sci-fi" musical comedy, Mickey Swingerhead & The Earthgirls, which was produced in Orlando, Florida.

In 1998, Andrew created his dynamic band known as Swingerhead. Even though they had an extensive touring schedule, Swingerhead was considered the house band at Rat Pack's on the Avenue in Orlando. Michael Andrew and the band performed with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra to a sold out crowd and received several standing ovations.

In 2000, Andrew formed his Los Angeles based band, The Coconut Club Orchestra. They performed at the Coconut Club in Merv Griffin's Beverly Hilton every Saturday night. His Orlando based band, Swingerhead continues to perform throughout Central Florida and the nation and in October of 2001, they won the Best Band award in the category of "Jazz, Lounge and Swing" for the 4th year in a row.

Michael Andrew can be seen leading his band in the opening scene of the MGM motion picture "Heartbreakers" starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sigourney Weaver, and Gene Hackman.

Michael enjoys working with his own bands as well as making frequent guest artist appearances with symphonic orchestras across the country.

  • really nice cover cd by a great singer
    author: Robert Miller

    Michael Andrew is a great singer and his voice really shines on this cd. For the most part, the covers are very true to the original but check out their version of My Way. Very different and a true high point. This was the last of the Swingerhead Cds that I bought and every one of them is exceptional.

  • a swinging tribute to Francis Sinatra from one very good singer
    author: brian glossman

    I am so pleased that i found this cd.There have been many tribute cds to the chairman of the board but this has to be the very best.So much so that i am now buying all Michael Andrew cds.As close to the real deal as you can get.Brilliant....

  • grew up,listening to sinatra,this guy is as good or better!
    author: alyce L LLewellyn

    great cd,dont know why its so hard to come by locally!

  • A must buy for Mr. Sinatra's fans.
    author: Henry

    I compared the original recording of Frank's version of I'll Never smile again with the first track and can hardly tell the difference.he sounded like the Chairman in his 30s.

  • Wonderful
    author: Paul Shorts

    Outstanding tribute to Sinatra. It's hard to admit but Michael Andrew might just be more swingin' than the Chairman himself.

  • Great ! When will Michael be in the Daytona Beach area??
    author: Nancy Brundage
  • What a great sound.
    author: David Lind

    What great vocals and big band sound. And after seeing Michael perform in Orlando I could hardly stop playing this CD. Highly recommend.

  • Big Band singing at its best
    author: Thomas Treichler, Switzerland

    This is big band singing at its best, in the tradition of Sinatra, Darin and Bennett. Michael Andrew has a beautiful voice and swings like mad. Excellent accompanying big band. Highly recommended.

  • THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD WOULD HAVE APPROVED
    author: RON HUDALE

    I AM SURE "THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD" WOULD HAVE APPROVED OF THIS EFFORT BY MICHAEL ANDREW. THIS IS ONE OUTSTANDING CD BY ONE OF THE FEW TRUE CROONERS STILL OUT THERE. HE IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH BOBBY CALDWELL AND BARRY MANILOW. AS USUAL SWINGERHEAD DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB. WHAT A BAND! THEY REALLY GET IT ON IN "LADY IS A TRAMP", WHICH IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE. ACTUALLY THERE IS NOT A BAD TRACK ON THE CD. THEY GET CREATIVE ON THEIR VERSION OF "MY WAY" AND IT WORKS WELL.
