JWV Tribute Swing Dance Concert featuring the Full Count Big Band

The Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County, The Freehold Jewish Center, and The Jewish Federation of Monmouth County invite you to join us for a celebration of Monmouth County's Jewish War Veterans and the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War at a JWV Tribute Swing Dance Concert featuring the Full Count Big Band.  The concert will be held on Sunday, November 10, 2013 at 3 PM at The Freehold Jewish Center, 59 Broad Street, Freehold, NJ 07728.  The price is general admission $20.00, veterans and guests $15.00 each, students $10.00.

We invite all veterans, guests and lovers of swing and  big band music to join us for a special afternoon of great music and memories.  The afternoon will feature a JWV flag ceremony and recognition of veterans in attendance, followed by a concert, featuring a professional 18-piece big band with vocalist.  Music and songs from the 1940s into the early 1950s will be featured, including music and songs made famous by bandleaders Benny Goodman, Harry James, and Artie Shaw, as well as singers Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dinah Shore, Eddie Fisher and many others.

The Full Count Big Band has been performing together for more than a decade. Its music is eclectic rather than nostalgic and ranges from the Swing era classics to more contemporary sounds, including Latin, rhythm and blues, funk and rock. Regardless of the style of music the arrangement of saxophones, trumpets, trombones and rhythm provides unrivaled harmonic and rhythmic excitement.
