Waldorf Astoria!NYC

I love the Waldorf Ballroom the best. It is just the perfect room for a big band like mine to play in . Once again we played for the Lenox Hill dinner dance. THere were 900 guests and Robin Roberts was the honoree. The acoustics are great in there. We dressed in these cute purple/pink dresses that coordinated with the theme "THE BEAT GOES ON" and we had so much fun playing both NY Classic society music (ala Cole Porter...and Gershwin) mixed with Earth Wind and Fire and even Beyonce and Gnarls Barkley. FUN! The night ended a little early as do most Monday night events....I love knowing that I am leading my band in the same hotel where such great band leaders as Glen Miller, Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie performed...it is such an honor...
