Young Musicians Entertain the 'Young at Heart'
It was a midday hop when the ‘Swing Under My Wing’ youth band visited Benidorm Ciudad Patricia retirement resort last Thursday 31st August. Led by trumpet man Marco Taiello (Italian) seven young musicians transported the residents back to the swing era playing a variety of evergreen arrangements of the time, concluding with the always popular, Glen Miller’s, ‘In The Mood’. All the musicians, strangely incorporating a bassoonist, very unusual for jazz, were of different nationalities ranging from American to German, including vocalist Barbara Stepinska who had travelled from Poland. The event was well attended.
The tour included seven live concerts in four cities situated in La Marina, Alicante for three weeks. This program served for social inclusion and was organized by NGO De Amicitia.
