In the Mood: The Big Band Era in the Bluegrass

In the Mood: The Big Band Era in the Bluegrass

Performances by some of Kentucky's top jazz artists, including the DiMartino-Osland Jazz Orchestra and Byron Stripling, recreate the Lexington dance-club scene of the 1940s and '50s, when now-forgotten clubs, dance halls and ballrooms drew luminaries such as Duke Ellington and Artie Shaw. Kentucky jazz artists Byron Romanowitz of the Men of Note and Mike Allen of the Mike Allen Trio also perform.
