Description
Tonight's big band battle is a feel-good, dance-up-a-storm, interactive jazz experience akin to those that originated in Harlem's Swing Era landmarks. This special event showcases two of New York's hottest young big bands – together on one stage – in a high-energy evening with dancers and repertoire chosen in part by the audience. Drummer/bandleaders Sammy Miller and Evan Sherman will deliver a full sensory experience through fast-paced music, friendly one-upmanship, and the welcome additions of choreographed and improvised dance, audience participation, and a bit of comedy. Both bands are inter-generational all-star groups, and they have repeatedly proven their ability to rouse up a crowd at New York City hot spots. Join them in The Appel Room for an entertaining night of great music and uplifting companionship.
Free pre-concert discussions nightly, 6pm and 8:30pm.
