The Groove Juice Special
Every month, Groove Juice Swing presents the Groove
Juice Special - a great opportunity to come out and meet
the swing scene and dance to some excellent music!
Many Groove Juice Specials are themed nights
ranging from our Roaring 20s Ball to
the Mardi Gras Masquerade
Ball, while other times we book some of
the fantastic local jazz bands for live music.
We are very excited to welcome back Gordon Webster and his band
featuring vocalist Naomi Uyama for a special CD release party!
Gordon's "Live in Rochester" CD was recorded during two
jam-packed dances at the 14th Annual Steven & Virginie Workshop
Weekend. You can pre-order your own copy on Gordon's site or buy it at the
event!
A cash bar will be available. Park where designated on this
map.

The Careless
Lovers are assembled from a group of swing dancer
musicians, inspired by the streets and clubs of New Orleans, New
York City, and anywhere that hot jazz combos have been laying
down swinging rhythms, past and present. The desire of the
band is to play a mix of traditional jazz, blues, and swing era
tunes and stylings with an attitude that's acoustic, fresh, and
dirty. More info at www.stompology.com.

Baby Soda is on the
forefront of a new movement loosely known as street jazz; with an
eclectic set of influences ranging from 30's era swing, New Orleans
jazz, and southern gospel. The ensemble doesn't desire to recreate
the past, rather they bring the concept and joy of the music to the
present. More info at www.stompology.com.
