The Joint is Jumping! If Fats Waller could only sit at our 1901 Steinway like this…

Where is that Flux Capacitor when you need it? …but we’re actually really happy living in this period of time and having such a great dance space as the Crosby Whistle Stop and such a fun crowd of dancers to fill it every Friday night. And when someone like Gordon Webster sits behind our piano, well, he is our Fats Waller! Or maybe he’s our Count Basie (since he doesn’t sing), but anyhow you get the idea.

The talent that has graced the corner of our hall has been nothing less than astounding, we’re really in the midst of an exciting new jazz and swing renaissance. We hope you’re enjoying every minute of it! Boston Swing Central has managed to showcase the best swing bands in the region, if not the country and with a frequency that makes us one of the marquee dance scenes in the country. We look forward to every Friday night with anticipation…and we just wanted to take a moment to contemplate how lucky we are…

This Friday, we’ll be turning over the music to our fine DJs who will comb through their CDs and mp3s for the finest music from roughly 80 years of swing music! The joint will be jumping!
