Live in Palm Springs! The Chris Dawson Swingtet Presents: A Tribute to Benny Goodman Swinging Sophistication. The Spirit of the King of Swing. Step back into the golden age of jazz as the Chris Dawson Swingtet pays electrifying tribute to one of the most iconic bandleaders in American music history—Benny Goodman. Led by virtuoso pianist Chris Dawson, this powerhouse ensemble brings Goodman's timeless music to life with exhilarating energy, technical brilliance, and heartfelt reverence. Known for his deep command of the American Songbook and a style reminiscent of jazz legends like Teddy Wilson and Oscar Peterson, Dawson leads a hand-picked group of world-class musicians who embody the spirit of Goodman’s legendary small combos. From the tight swing of “Sing, Sing, Sing” to the elegant interplay of “Moonglow” and the joyous bounce of “Don’t Be That Way,” the Swingtet channels the rhythmic pulse and polished sophistication that defined the Goodman sound. Featuring dynamic clarinet solos, fiery improvisation, and finely tuned arrangements, this tribute is more than a nostalgic journey—it’s a living celebration of an era when swing was king and jazz lit up dance floors and concert halls alike. Whether you're a die-hard Goodman fan or discovering his music for the first time, the Chris Dawson Swingtet’s Benny Goodman Tribute delivers a night of music that’s stylish, smart, and irresistibly swingin’. 🎠 Welcome to Carousel at the Cascade Lounge!
