Cab Calloway’s “Minnie The Moocher” or Benny Goodman’s “Sing Sing Sing”, Count Basie’s “Sent For You” or Artie Shaw’s “Begin The Beguine” ... on this evening, the New York spirit of the 30’s and 40’s comes to life with Andrej Hermlin and his famous Swing Dance Orchestra – naturally with all the dresses and suits from those glamorous nights! Here and there, we may encounter some surprising detours to lesser-known pieces of the time. Alongside Andrej Hermlin, his children Rachel and David take the stage to make the evening an unforgettable journey back to the golden era of swing with their vocals and drumming!
