Hip hop is the music of today’s youth. In the 1930s, however, it was the big bands and swing! From Harlem and the Paramount Theatre in New York City, to the Palomar Ballroom and the Castro Theatre on the West Coast, big band sounds reigned supreme. We invite you to revisit the sounds of the big bands, both classic and modern, with the music of Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton, Gene Krupa, Quincy Jones and more!
With a live performance by the Klipptones.
