What to expect
Our band offers a steady flow of upbeat instrumentals and vocals including big band classics and jazz standards. We like to briefly introduce each tune with a factoid about the tune - like how "Take the A Train" got its name.
We also like to keep the dance floor filled with a mix of numbers that includes plenty of Latin tunes for dancers who dig the samba, the cha cha and other tempos.
About
Our band was formed in 2015 by life-long musicians who love to play swing and jazz and wanted to bring classics from the Great American Songbook to audiences that cherish music from the Big Band era.
