Drummer Matt Johnson and The New Jet Set, featuring Adryon de León, present “Swingin’ The Disney Songbook” in an evening of retro-cool jazz interpretations of beloved songs from Disney animated films. Featuring a world-class quartet that combines virtuosic musicianship and charismatic personalities punctuated by delightful movie images and period footage, The New Jet Set–‘Swingin’ the Disney Songbook’ is a dynamic tour-de-force of musical style and taste.
Experience a jazz tribute with compelling storytelling of songs from the animated films we love, including: 101 Dalmatians, Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Aristocats, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Coco, Dumbo, Jungle Book, Lady and the Tramp, Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Pocahontas, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Toy Story, and Winnie the Pooh.
Retro meets modern with captivating technique and creativity. It’s like Walt Disney and Hugh Hefner threw a jazz party!
