This nine-piece band was ubiquitous at dances, as well as performances for President and Mrs. Clinton, and the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage.

We just can’t wait for a night of music that encompasses Harlem swing of the 1930s, L.A. Jump Blues of the 1940s, and classic New Orleans Rhythm and Blues of the 1950s!\n\n\n\n
