Over 40 live musicians playing favorites from Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller to name but a few. It will no doubt have you and yours making your way to the Andover Room's dance floor!

The evening will include special guest "Girl Treble" who will entertain you with their sweet a capella melodies.
