Music By:

Don Neely and the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra affectionately and authentically recapture the excitement, charm, and romance of the celebrated music originating from the 1920s and 1930s – often known as the Jazz Age and early Swing Era. If you haven’t seen the RSJO, take this opportunity to experience these fine musicians and their take on American Jazz & Swing tunes. Dancing is encouraged.
