Music

In the 1930’s and 40’s America swung to the sounds of the big bands; Duke Ellington and Count Basie. Tunes like “Do Nothin Till You Hear From Me,” “Caravan,” and “Take the A-Train.” And no place was more swingin than the Hey Hey Club in Kansas City. America also loved music from the American Songbook: Paul McCartney’s favorite composer, Cole Porter’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” or Harold Arlen’s “If I Only Had a Brain, “ from the Wiz of Oz. Aptly named,  the 7 piece Hey Hey Club swings that music for your pleasure. We invite you to join us on June 25th, 2pm, at the Tilton Library stage. This program funded by the Deerfield Cultural Council.

SWING SET is an intentionally small vocal jazz ensemble singing 4 and 8-part harmonies by the likes of The Real Group, Manhattan Transfer, Les Six, etc. With a fresh, vibrant sound, we sing jazz and other styles, incorporating exciting rhythms, complex harmonies, and vocal improvisations in ‘a capella’ and accompanied arrangements. While this group of skilled singers focuses on standards from the Swing  Era, we occasionally venture into other vocal realms that interest us.   Formed in 2017, the group features 2 to 3 voices on a part creating a musical and social intimacy not possible in larger choral groups. Our musical excellence is coupled with an abundance of fun and  laughter,  hallmarks of this group both on and off stage.    Funded by the Deerfield Cultural Council
