Swing at Sunset just concluded a wonderful series of musical events at The Vets in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. Five world-class performances were presented by the American Big Band Preservation Society, Dan Gabel of the Abletones, and The Vets Inc. They took us on a magical, musical trip to the early 20th century with:
- Dan Gabel and The Abletones
- The Compaq Big Band
- Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo
- Wolverine Jazz Band
- The World Famous Hal MacIntyre Orchestra
Dan Gable and the Abletones with vocalist Amanda Carr kicked it off June28th with a pre-series concert in honor of our veterans.
We weren’t present at all of them (definitely our loss!!) but Dan introduced us to C. S. Imming, who has become a member of New England Traditional Jazz Plus. Welcome aboard!
