Third Tuesday Dance Night with Hot Swing Combo

Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 6:30pm
7:00pm

The Third Tuesday Dance Night series for couple dancing continues in style with the cool sounds of the Hot Swing Combo. The Hot Swing Combo, fronted by ace guitarist Robert Bell, was created for the sole purpose of providing dancers the opportunity to be as expressive, creative and innovative as possible while dancing to a group of less than 8 musicians. Big Bands with their excellent arrangements and strength in numbers were/are an obvious choice for dancers. But what if a smaller swing combo, able to incorporate multiple genres including hot Gypsy jazz and sexy Cabaret vocal stylings, could offer dancers varying tempos, inspiring solos, and an endless supply of energy combined with some non-jazz material that shouldn’t work? Hot Swing Combo prove that the formula works!

Tickets $8 per person at the door.
