recognized
and award winning

The
UK Jazz Ensemble is directed by UK Music Professor
Miles Osland.
Miles Osland is a

well known as a distinguished music educator, recording and
performing artist, author, arranger and composer. |
|
|
|
At this dance
the UK Jazz Ensemble will play a number of songs that are considered swing-era classics.
Many of these songs are not played very often at live music
venues in their original arrangement by your average "big band" or
"swing band" due to their technical
difficulty. |

Some
of the songs for this dance will include these gems:
► Jimmie
Lunceford: Lunceford Special; For Dancers Only; Four or
Five Times;
Baby Won't You Please Come
Home.
► Benny
Goodman: Swingtime in the Rockies; Sing, Sing, Sing.
► Duke
Ellington: Ring Dem Bells; Take the "A" Train;
Rockin' in Rhythm; Tiger Rag;
Drop Me Off in Harlem.
► Count
Basie: Jumpin' at the Woodside; Doggin' Around; It's Sand,
Man.
► Artie
Shaw: Back Bay Shuffle.
► Harlan
Leonard: Skee; Hairy Joe Jump; Too Much.

of Pearls; Pennsylvania 6-5000, Tuxedo Junction. |

Why reserve a table for this event?
There will be plenty of tables and chairs at this event.
And most swing dancers don't sit that much anyway --
we're out on the dance floor!
But for those that desire a table where they can better
see the band, we recommend you reserve a table.
Those tables not reserved will be available on a
first-come, first-serve basis in the
Grand Ballroom starting at 7:00 pm on Jan. 31st. |
