Swing jazz bands for weddings and parties
|
Take the wonderfully crafted songs from 1920s-30s Broadway Shows, and arrange them for big band, Glenn Miller-style. The result is hip-swinging, stylish, eminently danceable Swing Jazz. Popularised by Frank Sinatra at the time and by Robbie Williams more recently, it's a upbeat easy-listening delight that pleases all ages. |
