August 10th- Swing Essence

Swing Essence provides a dancing experience like none other based on the idea that people of all ages love to dance to the classics; the group selects classic tunes that really swing, groove, or rock at the top of their class. The music is originally arranged, specifically for Swing Essence, so the sound is exciting and fresh, yet the music is familiar to everyone. Like the jazz and rock ensembles made popular in the 50s, the band includes trumpet and saxophone with guitar, keyboards, drums, bass, plus male and female vocalists. The musicians in the group all have jazz chops and professional experience from Broadway shows to cruise ship bands. Swing Essence has been a favorite in Colorado and the region since 2004.
