Swing Is In The Air
Sunday November 16th, 2014 with Ralph Hopper
Freeflight, The Widespread Jazz Orchestra, Philip Morris Superband

All Big Bands today and bands you may not have heard or know. Great tunes from ‘The Big Band’ the second CD recorded in 1998 by the Toronto based Freeflight. Then, on vinyl from the CKCU LP library, The Widespread Jazz Orchestra and the Philip Morris Superband from recordings done in New York in 1984 and 1989. The music swings and you’re invited to tune in and dance if you feel so inclined.
