Conceived by Paul Kelly.
"Two thirds rhythm and one third soul." That’s how Fats Waller defined the uniquely American form of popular music and dance known as "swing." Requiring only joyful enthusiasm and a ready partner, swing shatters cultural barriers, America’s most enduring “feel-good” music generated at least 25 different dance styles. “Swing!” celebrates this remarkable diversity to the beat of the exhilarating songs of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman and Harry James. But as this enthralling song-and-dance show makes abundantly clear, swing was never a time or place – it has always been a state of mind!
