Naomi & Her Handsome Devils is a 7 piece classic jazz band playing music that swings. The band members were hand picked from the top talent in the traditional jazz scenes of New York and Chicago, with vocalist and bandleader Naomi residing in Minneapolis. Their popularity on the global swing dance scene comes from their focus on swing-era fare from the 1920's through the 1940's and their bandleader Naomi Uyama's experience as an international lindy hop champion.

In the summer of 2014 they recorded and released their self-titled debut album "Naomi & Her Handsome Devils". They continue to play and tour, developing their sound and drawing on both rare tunes and timeless classics. https://www.last.fm/music/Naomi+&+Her+Handsome+Devils/+wiki

Naomi Uyama was an international swing dance champion searching for the perfect band - original but authentic in the pocket but bringing the party. After searching the world over she took it upon herself to form "Naomi & Her Handsome Devils" from her favorite musicians in New Orleans, NYC, Seattle, and Chicago. Put them all together and you have a modern band with a vintagesound that is swinging dance floors around the world. "Nothing but good music, never ironic or post-modern, neither copying nor satirizing, just beautifully crafted melodic swing." By..Michael Steinman Jazz Lives https://www.naomisdevils.com/

The long awaited third album from what can only be called a swing revival supergroup is finally here. Recorded last summer at the Minneapolis Uptown Swing Out, this live take on Naomi and Her Handsome Devils is already being played at DJ'd events and dance classes all over the world. An instant hit, but how could it miss. The front line is Jonathan Doyle from Seattle, Gordon Au from New York City, and Charlie Halloran from New Orleans. The rhythm section is Jake Sanders from Chicago, Jared Engel out of Brooklyn, Dalton Ridenhour from Missouri but now in New York, and Josh Collazo from LA. If you've been reading this paper awhile those are all names you've heard before, either as leaders or members of the best traditional jazz and swing groups going. Past albums have included Mike Davis and Adrian Cunningham. This is what is called on the festival circuit a reunion band but the Handsome Devils reunite a number of times a year at major swing events on at least three continents. The Devils are led by Naomi Uyama a vocalist easily their match in musicality. She's also an international swing dance champion and an instructor with a great sense of what dancing crowds want.By Joe Bebco https://syncopatedtimes.com/naomi-her-handsome-devils-live/
