13.01.2022 Our gig on Saturday April 6 is 'Let's Dance' so we'll be playing heaps of 30's 40's dance tunes to keep our chops working. We'll also be featuring this chart which is Duke Ellington's celebration of the dancer Bojangles (Bill Robinson). Check out some of Bojangles clips as well. Of course, Neil Diamond recorded a version of Jerry Jeff Walker's song Mr Bojangles, and there are plenty of clips showing Sammy Davis Jnr celebrating Bojangles as well. Looking forward to playing this one!
