On Saturday, you will be treated to a double bill party with The Boilermaker Jazz Band and The Russ Wilson Swingtet. It's going to be a night to dismember.
The Boilermaker Jazz Band is an ecstatically fun band performing authentic hot jazz, ragtime, and swing. The group has a wide repertoire that can make an audience swing to a classic jazz standard, get sentimental over an old-time ballad, boogie to a hot jump tune, or get low-down with a gritty blues. Everytime the Boilermakers visit DC, they bring the house down.

We are thrilled to present The Russ Wilson Swingtet! We had them back at Glen Echo Park in November, and many dancers have been begging us to bring them back! This time we're bringing in their swingtet - all the way from North Carolina. Check them out at www.npojazz.com.
