Got That Swing?
A night of swing dancing with the George Gee Swing Orchestra will take place Saturday evening from 6 to 8 in the concert hall of the Southampton Arts Center.
The orchestra is one of the most sought-after swing ensembles in the business, with performances at Lincoln Center, the Rainbow Room, Birdland, Smalls Jazz Club, as well as international jazz venues in Zurich, Tokyo, and Brazil, among many others. In addition to the infectious music, Mr. Gee will bring two professional swing dancers to help get audience members onto the dance floor. Tickets, which are $25, can be purchased at the center’s website.
Also at the center, Jazz on the Steps, the weekly series of informal free outdoor concerts, will feature Marcus McLaurine on bass and Bill Smith on piano on Sunday at noon. The concerts are designed to showcase the diversity of jazz and to appeal to both adults and children.
