Artist History Brought together by leader/singer Ken Levine, JJW almost immediately lept to national attention as the house band at the Bellagio Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. For ten months, the guys played to full houses six nights a week while finding time to develop material and play shows in such popular venues as the Hard Rock Cafe, LA's Hollywood Athletic Club, and NY's Swing 46. While in Manhattan, they were the featured performers at a gala fundraiser held at Tonic Supper Club. Since then, JJW has become a regular appearance at the world famous Derby in Hollywood and appears nightly in the Las Vegas area.
