Royalties of Swing: The Music of Count Basie and Duke Ellington
Synopsis
It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing, written in 1931 by Duke Ellington, heralded the start of the swing era—a golden age when jazz wasn’t just music, but a vibrant, dance-fuelled cultural movement. And when it comes to swing bands that truly make you want to move, none did it better than the legendary Count Basie orchestra.
Swing by and join Sinclair Ang & His Rhythmakers as they reimagine the music of these royalties of swing and present an evening of joy. In an unforgettable evening of rhythm and joy, half the stage will be transformed into a dance floor to welcome the lindy hop community to swing out in style.
The Rhythmakers is a collective led by Jazz Inc founder Sinclair Ang and seeks to promote music from the Swing Era, when jazz was both dance and popular music.
This evening’s stellar cast of musicians are:
Sinclair Ang (Vocals)
Amanda Lee (Keyboard, vocals)
Xavier Lim (Saxophone)
Eriko Murakami (Trombone)
Nobu Shiraishi (Bass)
Asher Lee (Drums)
