Verdi Club: Clint Baker’s Hot Four, featuring Jessica King and Benny Amón at the Woodchopper’s Ball
CLINT BAKER’S HOT FOUR, FEATURING JESSICA KING AND BENNY AMÓN:
Clint Baker, jazz musician extraordinaire and walking encyclopedia of jazz music and history, returns to the Woodchopper’s Ball, this time with his incredibly fun Hot Four plus Jessica King and Benny Amón. Clint Baker’s Hot Four features a 1920s style. Tight and powerful, they will make you want to dance every song! Great music for Charleston and all things swing!
