The Solomon Douglas Swingtet - Ain't No School Like Old School (2011)

The Solomon Douglas Swingtet is a ten-piece dance band whose repertoire is rooted in that of the Basie band and that of the Ellington band, with other big-band standards and classic jazz tunes thrown in as well. The band makes frequent appearances at the Century Ballroom (Seattle, WA) and at the Glen Echo Spanish Ballroom (Washington, DC), and plays at Lindy Hop, Blues, and Balboa dance events all over North America. The Solomon Douglas Swingtet released its first CD, "Swingmatism," in 2006; its second CD, "Live at the Legion," in 2009; and its third CD, "Ain't No School Like the Old School" in April of 2011.
