Style: Swing
Dance Instructor: Margaret Batiuchok
DJ: Odysseus Bailer

​​Jazz vocalist and swing dancer Cait Jones has captivated audiences worldwide with her "lovely voice, dead-on pitch, and subtle swing," (Jazz Lives, Michael Steinman). For her headlining Summer for the City debut, Jones will be fronting her septet, with the musical direction of trombonist and bandleader, Mariel Bildsten. This will be the stateside premiere of some of Jones' original music written with French composer Mathieu Najean from the pair's first collaborative album, Outta the Blue with You (2023), a repertoire inspired by the great masters: Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Count Basie. The septet will also feature original arrangements of swing hits. Arrive early at The Dance Floor for a beginner's swing lesson to pick up a few of the basic steps before the live music begins!
