Jazz in Progress will perform their annual free summer Swingin’ the Bandshell concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 29th at the Dee Palmer Band Shell in Hopkins Park, 1403 Sycamore Rd., DeKalb, IL.

Making music together in the area for over 10 years, the 18-piece community jazz band will play a variety of music including classic jazz standards, Swing-era, funk from the 1960s and ‘70s, as well as other favorites. The band will also feature a number of vocal and instrumental soloists from within the members of the ensemble.
