Their music evokes the height of ballroom perfection, combining jazz elegance and swingin’ (or rumba-in’ or cha-cha-cha-in’) style, and gorgeous renditions of ’20s and ’30s chestnuts.

  • “An erupting wellspring of euphoria: that would describe the vintage swing emanating from Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks.”
