Rob Reich Swings Left at the Woodchopper's Ball

ROB REICH SWING LEFT: Rob Reich Swings Left, led by pianist, accordionist, and composer Rob Reich, plays jazz music for dancing, rooted in the classic swing era of the late 1930s. Featuring classic arrangements of Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Artie Shaw, "Swings Left" branches off from there and also features Rob Reich's original music in the same classic style, combining hot rhythms with a cool sensibility.
