Don Neely Swingtet at the Woodchopper's Ball

Don Neely, bandleader, arranger, reed player, songwriter, and vocalist, leads this fine jazz ensemble, authentically recapturing the excitement of the celebrated music originating from the Jazz Age of the 1920s and the early Swing Era of the 1930s. The Don Neely Swingtet--great music for Charleston-inspired Lindy Hop, Balboa, and Collegiate Shag!
