With five performances on Lincoln Center’s renowned Midsummer Night Swing series, Long Island’s own Swingtime Big Band makes its Madison Theatre debut with its first ever holiday concert! This 20-piece authentic Swing Era band, led by Steve Shaiman, will thrill you with the brassy Christmas carols of Stan Kenton (in recognition of the Kenton centennial), and highlights from The Nutcracker Suite, as arranged by Duke Ellington, Shorty Rogers and Les Brown (in recognition of Brown’s 100th birthday!), plus there will be a some really swingin’ Chanukah tunes to celebrate the Festival of Lights! Vocalists Bobbie Ruth and Jerry Costanzo bring it all home for the holidays with classic seasonal standards from the Great American Songbook.
