Take a sneak peek into the music of an era of bootlegged booze, the Foxtrot, and Jazz Age decadence with Vince Giordano, bandleader and multi-instrumentalist of Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks.

For an authentic look back at the Birth of the Big Band, join Giordano for this artist talk that brings the joyful syncopation of the 1920s to the Mountain Top Library. Giordano will discuss his dedication to a 1920s revival and demonstrate the music of such essential bandleaders as Fletcher Henderson, Don Redman, Jean Goldkette, and others.
