Spring Jazz features the 17-member band playing favorite and new swinging, big-band selections. Ford will sing "Sway," "Lullaby of Broadway," "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," and other classic tunes. The band will also bring back some compositions that they have not had a chance to play recently, including Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments," and Toots Thielemann's "Bluesette."
"I like having the band perform in Gina's Good Life on a regular basis,” said David Bugli, Mile High Jazz band pianist and leader. “Gina Rohrer has created a great place for jazzers and other musicians to share their talents, something that's important for personal, musical growth.”
