Known for his exciting and unique stage presence and voice almost as much as for his chops on the trumpet, Satchmo's influence extends well beyond jazz and swing. By the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a major influence on popular music as a whole. Louis also has some great swing dance tunes, which DJ Jason Provost will play for us tonight. (Check out a few of them below!) He'll also play his regular slew of early rock 'n roll, classic rhythm & blues and modern swing tunes.
Are you a first time dancer? The Dance Shack will be teaching a beginner east coast swing lesson starting at 7PM. The dance floor opens up right after the lesson around 8PM. If you're not taking the lesson, check out some of their award winning cocktails!
As always, there is no cover to enter! Swing Dance Sunday is 21+.
There's always plenty of street parking available.
