Jacques Emond created "Swing is in the Air" as an homage to big band music. Today, we're going to honor Jacques with an all big-band show, featuring some bands with which listeners are familiar, and others which are new to your ears. The recordings date from 2014 through this year. Buckle up—some of the music you may find challenging, but it's ALL good!
