Duke Ellington wrote a song in 1931 titled “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing),” and for a generation of music lovers those were words to live by. Swing music ruled the airwaves and the dance floors throughout the 1930s and 40s, and the artists that led the bands became internationally beloved celebrities. Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson - these are some of the biggest names in jazz, and their music is still as popular today as it was when it was first recorded. Get ready for an evening of big band swing that will give you the urge to get up and dance to these classic tunes performed by the best jazz band in Colorado!
