In the first installment of their year-long 20th anniversary celebration of the Swing Era, Jesse Cloninger and The Emerald City Jazz Kings will focus in the years 1935 thru '38. With hits from Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, Count Basie, Chick Webb, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and the Boswell and Andrews Sisters, there will be something for everyone! Look for hits like: "I'll Never Say Never Again Again", "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen", "Don't Be That Way", "A-Tisket A-Tasket", "Song of India", "Marie", "Goody Goody", "One O’Clock Jump", "King Porter Stomp", "Sing, Sing, Sing", and "Caravan". Who could ask for anything more!?
