About This Concert


It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing! Inspired by legendary musical hot spots like The Cotton Club and The Savoy, this electrifying concert will transport you to Harlem’s hippest nightclub, when Duke Ellington’s orchestra was the house band and Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ethel Waters showcased the biggest jazz hits of the day.


What to Expect:

  • Travel through time, back to the smoke-filled speakeasies, glamorous nightclubs, and swingin’ dance halls of the Jazz Age and Swing Era
  • Guest artists channel your favorite jazz legends, from the pitch-perfect voice of Ella Fitzgerald to the hi-de-ho swagger of Cab Calloway. There’s even a tap dancer!
  • Dress in your sharpest vintage attire as we bring the vivacious spirit of the 1920s–40s to life
