Featuring Music by:

Frank Foster's 12-piece Swing Plus Band with spotlight tributes by veteran Count Basie Orchestra members and other jazz greats such as Junior Mance, Earl May, Barbara Morrison, Benny Powell, Irene Reid, Dennis Rowland, Clark Terry, Frank Wess & Joe Wilder.

For the past six years Yehoodi.com has dedicated its efforts to fostering the Lindy Hop community, online and offline. In the year that marks the centennial of William (Count) Basie, we wish to honor his music by reuniting it with the dance it was once inseparable with. Please join us on October 9th, 2004 to celebrate to honor a century's worth of Swing -- the music and the dance that we have inherited from the people who made it happen.
