Genre: Jazz
FCCs: none
Review: Ng is a lindy hop, balboa, and blues dancer with classical violin training. On his latest disc,
he creates a new merger, joining his appreciation of both gypsy jazz and ‘40s big bands in six interesting arrangements. His bans=d is fully up to the task. Get ready to swing!
