The Ithaca Swing Dance Network and Cornell Swing Dance Club are proud to present the Solomon Douglas Quartet at a swing dance on Saturday, April 28, at the Memorial Room, Willard Straight Hall, on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, from 8:30 PM to midnight.

Solomon Douglas is a jazz pianist and bandleader, and his experience as a swing dancer and dance instructor gives him an understanding of the music that swing dancers like to dance to! The Quartet plays a mixture of musical styles including blues, old-school swing, and groovy mainstream swinging jazz with tinges of bop and soul-jazz, and his groups have performed all over North America.

Admission is $10 for adults and $8 for seniors (60+) and students. There will be an introductory swing lesson at 7:30 as part of the admission.

For directions and parking: www.cornell.edu/maps/<http://www.cornell.edu/maps/>

Here are the Members of the Quartet!:

Seattle pianist Solomon Douglas started playing jazz 25 years ago, and has been performing for swing dancers for about half of that time. He leads the ten-piece Solomon Douglas Swingtet in addition to his small groups (such as the Solomon Douglas Quartet). His music is a mixture of old-school swing, blues, and groovy swinging jazz.

Alison Dreyfuss is a young vocalist from New Hampshire who has been making a big splash in the Lindy Hop world over the past year. She has recently performed for Lindy Hop events in and New York, Boston, DC, Seattle, and Portland (Oregon). Her unique voice and her delightful sense of phrasing will remind some listeners of Billie Holiday and Blossom Dearie, without sounding like an imitation of anyone.

Glenn Crytzer is a jazz guitarist and composer from Seattle, Washington, best known in the Lindy Hop world as the bandleader behind the six-piece jazz band Glenn Crytzer and His Syncopators (founded in 2007), and the 13-piece big band Crytzer's Blue Rhythm Band (winner of the 2011 DC Lindy Exchange big band battle).

He is a regular sideman of saxophonist Wessell Anderson and violinist Christian Howes. He leads his own ensembles, and co-leads the Sailors/DeLancey Jazz Orchestra.
