Second Sunday Jazz Affair
After Midnight
"After Midnight" - a Benny Goodman Sextet - is widely regarded as the best small jazz group of all time. Their sound and style is modeled after that remarkable band but with a sophisticated and modern vibe and the hard driving swing is refreshing and infectious, inspiring dancers and bringing toe-tapping joy to listeners of all ages. This music is incredibly difficult to play and they enjoy making it look and sound effortless. The repertoire incoporates music from Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, and Lionel Hampton to Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennett.
Sextet members: Roger Campbell, Leader - Clarinet; Rick Weingarten - Vibraphone & Vocals; Mike McCullough - Guitar & Vocals; Jerry Weiss - Piano & Keyboard; Dwight Thompson - Bass; Jim Moore - Drums
