November 8, 2014This band plays regularly for Swing Night with the Grand Rapids Original Swing Society. These are some of the best players and singers in town. They are excellent and they have a huge variety of material that not only resides in the swing era, but reaches beyond swing into more popular music . They are always professional and sound fantastic. Nothing like those live horns! You won't be disappointed
