An exciting exploration of the beginnings of jazz - from ragtime to Dixie, showtunes to swing. Audiences will be inspired by the sounds of some of the greatest jazz composers of all time, such as George Gershwin and Hoagy Carmichael, and will be tapping their toes to classic favourites like The Entertainer, Georgia, and other hits from the swing era.
