    Principal clarinetist Tad Calcara will bring his band, New Deal Swing to Abravanel Hall to perform with the Utah Symphony in a program that includes charts from the golden age of swing. Comprised of Utah Symphony musicians, as well as several of the states finest jazz musicians, the band's repertoire focuses on swing music played by the great Big Bands of the mid 1930's. Swing music of the 1930's was up beat, fast, exciting and even romantic. Tad Calcara and New Deal Swing will take patrons back to the time of the Lindy Hop and Jitterbug when they perform music by Artie Shaw, 'Sy' Oliver, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin and many more. New Deal Swing was organized by Utah Symphony principal clarinetist, Tad Calcara, and was featured on the Utah Symphony's 2004 Big Band Pops concert and was featured at the 2005 Salt Lake City Jazz Festival. All of the arrangements performed are either copies made from the originals found in archives at different locations around the country, or carefully transcribed editions taken from recordings. See program listing below.
