SING SING SWING! An Evening of Jazz, featuring Lady K and the Kings of Swing, with jazz vocalist Carla Helmbrecht. The band is a 17-piece Frank-Sinatra-style big band that lovingly winks back in time recreating the sounds of Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Count Basie, Gershwin, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and beyond. Featuring Grammy-Award nominee singer-songwriter Carla Helmbrecht. With class and sophistication, Carla exudes warmth and brings new life, poetry and love to the timeless songs of the Great American Songbook.
“..if you’ve never heard swing before, Lady K makes a perfect entry point. High energy and a clear love of playing distinguish this band…” –Improvijazzation Nation
“This is a solid big band date that takes a nice swing down memory lane without being ironic or sentimental, just swinging. It’s a sophisticated outing that anyone with a taste for big bands can enjoy. Mix up a Manhattan and let the good times roll!” -Chris Spector, Midwest Record
“…Imaginative...poetic and sophisticated….she’s hip without being frenetic, laid-back without sounding haphazard, and best of all, the lady (Carla Helmbrecht) swings without sweating…the lyric writer’s best friend.” -Harvey Siders, Jazz Times
Tickets per show: $20 Adults/$8 Youth
