The Solomon Douglas Swingtet is coming back to play a night full of great music at Wednesday Night Hop in Mountain View, CA!
The Solomon Douglas Swingtet is an eight-piece dance band whose repertoire is rooted in that of the Basie band (One O’Clock Jump, Jive at Five, Splanky, Shorty George, Shiny Stockings) and that of the Ellington band (Cottontail, “C” Jam Blues, Mood Indigo, Take The “A” Train), with other big-band standards and classic jazz tunes thrown in as well. They can cater to a crowd that prefers up-tempo classic swing, to a crowd that prefers slower groovier jazz, or to anything in between. The Solomon Douglas Swingtet has played for dancers at venues from the Glen Echo Spanish Ballroom (DC) to the Century Ballroom (Seattle), and many other places around the world. The Swingtet is sure to keep you dancing all night long!
The dance at Wednesday Night Hop runs from 9:15-midnight, with lessons beforehand. Cost is only $12, or $6 for those under 24 years old.
