Caramoor@KMA: Jazz: The Swingaroos

Caramoor@KMA is a unique collaboration between two of the region’s most vital cultural resources that showcases early- to mid-career artists in a variety of genres. This series of performances takes place in the Katonah Museum of Art’s beautiful outdoor Sculpture Garden – a brief two-mile trek up the street from Caramoor – and are an ideal early-evening experience for families, picnickers, and adventurous music lovers. Complimentary wine and beer will be available.

The Swingaroos are NYC’s underground jazz band. With a suitcase full of original songs and Hit Parade covers from the ’20s to the 2010s, the ‘Roos continue the tradition of the swing-era Territory Bands. Fronted by award-winning vocalist/multi-instrumentalist/lyricist, Kimberly Hawkey, and pianist/arranger, Assaf Gleizner, this sextet of swingin’ hot noise has been heard in the seediest roadhouses and the stateliest of halls of the Empire City and beyond.
