The Band
The Frankie Sixes are currently one of the most prominent jazz combos in Malaysia, as well as a rising star in the South East Asian/East Asian lindy hop live music scene.
Formed in 2017, the 6-piece band is made up of Ee Jeng on piano, Che Wan on double bass, KJ on drums, Eddy Lim on sax, Isaac Marvin on trumpet and led by indie folk singer-songwriter Reza Salleh on vocals. They are passionate about pushing Malaysian swing jazz, having released an EP of original swing tunes in 2023 and a second EP due to be out November 2024.
They maintain close lindy ties in the region, with a lindy hop music video for their lead single "Tepuk Amai-Amai" featuring 105 dancers from more than 10 countries.
Using swing jazz as a vehicle to tell Malaysian stories and anecdotes, locally they have performed at events such as Publika Jazz Fest, Iskandar Puteri Jazz Festival, Malaysia Jazz Piano Festival, KL Swing Fest, Urbanscapes Festival, Royal Selangor Jazz Fest and internationally in Thailand (Swingmania, Rising Bangkok, Swing Era), Taiwan (Taiwan Lantern Festival, Friday Swing 3rd Anniversary) and Korea (Club Monk, Haeundae Jazz Festival). Expect to hear some original swing jazz laced with classic standards and be prepared to move your feet!
