This is the music of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan, Cab Calloway, Billie Holliday, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Art Blakey and Count Basie, with a bit of stylish Rat Pack thrown in for good measure, the retro tunes which drove Tin Pan Alley and created the Great American Songbook.

Not only masters of their repertoire, but hugely entertaining showmen sure to keep the smile on your face in between songs.
