The Swingsations' Jim Ziegler is at it again!

[John P. Cooper]

The Swingsations' Jim Ziegler is at it again!

SWING NEWS OF THE DAY!

Jim Ziegler, the world's favorite trumpet player, is at it again with a busy weekend and a Stout lip. Jim will be blowing that golden horn for boss man Jonathan Stout on both Friday and Saturday nights. Nope. Not with The Swingsations this week-end, but a double-header with the Stout-Hearted men (and woman) of Jonathan's Campus 5 with Hilary Alexander and with the big swing band known as the Jonathan Stout Orchestra.

Great stuff both nights! Both free! Both with Jim Ziegler sitting up there, playing and singing and making the night a better one all around.

Jim's got 'the style'! Close your eyes, listen to him play and you will think you are back in the Swing era. Jim gets hot when they turn him loose on a solo, but if he feels like smoothing it out with a mellow standard, watch those dancers get dreamy eyed for a moment or two with his unique singing manner and the way he turns each tune into one of his own. Sweet and Hot! They don't call him "The Man" for nothing!

Jonathan Stout has two fine bands at work and both feature lovely and talented Hilary Alexander singing some bouncy big band tunes, sometimes on a duet with Jim up at the mic with her.

Either night or both nights - you can't miss out! Jim's on the stand and it will be just as good as a cool August night can be.

Stay tuned for more Jim Ziegler news and of his next gigs with his own fine little band, The Swingsations!

The Swingsations are available for your public or private events. Just ask Jim for a business card, contact him through the CDBaby web site below or send me a note!
