5:30 – 8:30: The Ahlfabet Swing Band, a popular swing jazz group in the New York metropolitan area, is pleased to announce their new season of live shows. The band will be performing at a variety of venues throughout Rockland County, Westchester County, and New York City. The Nyack based band specializes in 30s and 40s style jazz, with a focus on the swing music of Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Sidney Bechet, Jimmie Lunceford, Coleman Hawkins, and Count Basie. The band also plays songs from the Great American Songbook that have been covered by crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

In addition to their classic repertoire, the Ahlfabet Swing Band has recently started creating fun swing arrangements of classic rock and pop tunes. The band’s music is always fun and upbeat, and they really emphasize the danceable jazz that was once pop music. Jazz started as dance music, and the Nyack Swing Band tries their best to keep it that way. The band is led by Albert Ahlf, who writes most of the arrangements. Ahlf is known for his “condensed big band sound,” which utilizes two to three horns with a rhythm section. The band also features talented musicians such as [list of band members].

The band was also featured in Hot House Magazine in 2022
