Travel back to the Swing Era with one of the finest big bands of all time: The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Driven by the perfectionism of its founder and leader, trombonist Tommy Dorsey, the Orchestra defined the sound of an entire generation, charting 15 No. 1 hits and introducing the world to a young singer from Hoboken, Frank Sinatra. Now under the direction of Terry Myers, the Orchestra comes to the Carpenter Performing Arts Center, ready to play such chart-toppers as "Night and Day," "I'll Never Smile Again," "Marie," "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "Song of India," "Opus One" and "Skylark." Treat your ears to everything from dance numbers to ballads, all played with the style and grace forever associated with that "Sentimental Gentleman of Swing," Tommy Dorsey. Learn More

Written on Jan 30 2012Great fun! Very creative group, jazzy plus stiltwalkers and fire eaters!? My Mom wished she had earplugs along but loudness was part of their theme. We previewed at their website.

Written on Jan 30 2012This was a terrific, high energy,entertaining show. The musicians were excellent, and the stilt walkers, gymnasts and dancers were great. They had the audience up and dancing along. The only drawback was the volume which was way too loud for the venue.

Description
MarchFourth Marching Band (M4 to its fans) is a kaleidoscope of musical and visual energy that inspires dancing in an atmosphere of celebration. Aside from their marching band themed costumes, as well as the 5-piece percussion corps and 7-part brass section, M4 is far from a “marching band” in any traditional sense (though this group of about 20 has been known to parade down Main Street before taking the stage). M4 is anchored by funky electric bass and has been evolving into a more guitar- and vocal-driven musical experience. The show will take you on a journey from the swamps of Louisiana to the gypsy camps of eastern Europe to the African jungle by way of Brazil, echoing the deepest grooves of American funk, rock, and jazz then boiling it all together in cinematic fashion with high-stepping stilt-acrobatics and dazzling dancers. This genre-busting, in-your-face experience is not to be missed! What began as a Fat Tuesday party in Portland, Oregon, on March 4th 2003, has since become one of the nation’s best live touring acts.
