Kings of Swing

June 30, 2008 

Featuring the Galaxy All-Star Orchestra

Canada's highly-acclaimed 14-member GALAXY ALL-STAR ORCHESTRA pays a dynamic tribute to the Swing Era in a memorable stage show and music review that you can dance to. Under the direction of Eddie Graf and Ross Wooldridge, this show recreates the excitement, feel and sounds of the '40s and salutes Big Band's greatest legends including Frank Sinatra, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Harry James, Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, The Pied Pipers and many more!

In addition to the multi-talented Galaxy All-Star Orchestra, this scintillating show features a plethora of all-star performers including recording artist/entertainer IAN JUTSUN performing Sinatra favorites; Canada's best big band songstress ROBIN LEA singing romantic ballads; the swingin' harmonies of the three "SISTERS OF SWING"; and THE MOONGLOWS performing Andrew Sisters' and Pied Pipers' hits!

The two-hour show incorporates two sections: the first spotlights Benny Goodman (credited with starting the Swing Era and often referred to as the original "King of Swing"), trumpet king Harry James (credited for "discovering" Sinatra), and Glenn Miller (the most popular bandleader of all-time). The second half features the music of Tommy Dorsey (the "Sentimental Gentleman of Swing"), Artie Shaw (dubbed the "King of the Clarinet"), and Les Brown, Count Basie and other big band icons.
