Big fun was had by all at the big band dance party on April 7 at Monona Terrace, with the UW-Madison Jazz Orchestra swinging through the sweet sounds of Benny Goodman, Woody Herman, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller, music that first revved the engines of the orchestra membersâ?? grandparents and continues to keep a stomp in the Savoy step of be-boppers today.
The free event was part of the Tunes at Monona Terrace series, which features local musicians and dancers from a wide spectrum of sounds and styles.
