The Jazz programs at the Woodmere Art Museum continue with a
performance by the Tony Wyatt Swing Band on November 11th. Celebrate
this influential American art form on Friday nights. Light fare and
wine served. Programs will begin at 6:00 pm.
Tony Wyatt will "bring the swing" by playing some jazz classics like
Duke Ellington's "A Train", Count Basie's "One O'clock Jump", and
many more. Topping it off, vocalist Marian Salaam will work the room
with his impromptu scatting and audience participation. This program
gives real meaning to the Duke Ellington classic..."It Don't Mean A
Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing".
Ragtime with Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society is scheduled for
November 18th. Influenced by Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, and Bix
Beiderbeck, Drew Nugent and The Midnight Society play Ragtime with a
touch of Dixieland. "Hottest hot band on any bandstand in the land."
New Orleans Jazz with Philadelphia Brass Band is set for December 2nd
and Arpeggio Jazz Ensemble will perform on Billie Holiday Night: with
special guest vocalist Mic’al Beckham, on December 9th.
Woodmere Art Museum is located at 9201 Germantown Avenue, in
