Jazz In The Key of Life

The Swing City Big Band is proud to present our new program, Jazz in the Key of Life. If this sounds familiar there is good reason. Inspired by both Stevie Wonder for his album and a recent program presented by Wynton Marsalis we would like to borrow the concept of performing popular songs in a new style. In this performance we will perform popular songs throughout history. Sit back and enjoy your favorite songs, past and present, while we take a trip down memory lane. If you have any requests please see one of us during intermission and if we have it, we will do our best to add it for you to enjoy the second half of our show.

Approx. run time: 2 hrs. 15 min. (includes intermission).
