On January 16th, 1938 Count Basie took on Chick Webb in the Battle of the Bands at the world-famous New York hotspot, the "home of happy feet": Harlem's Savoy Ballroom. At the time, Basie’s band featured a young Billie Holliday while Webb’s band featured the vocals of a young Ella Fitzgerald. As if that’s not enough, that same night, Benny Goodman’s Orchestra debuted as the first swing band to play Carnegie Hall. Swing dancers to this day consider January 16, 1938 to be one of the greatest nights in jazz and swing dance history!
In honor of this historic event, Shuffle Club is featuring a night of music from these three legendary bands, and even some live recordings from that night from DJs Peter Flahiff and Lauren Smith! Come out Tuesday, January 14, don your best vintage-inspired looks, and get ready to swing to these inspirational tunes!
