It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing





Burlington Jazz Festival fills Church Street with music from the people for the people. Here the people are 7th, 8th, and 9th graders ending their gig on a day in June. They are singing a song Duke Ellington wrote the year before I was born and it is amazing to me that 87 years later a teacher at a school in Vermont can get this performance from these kids.

When I was going to school at that age, Roger Williams School in Rumford, Rhode Island, I have one memory from "music" We sang "Abide With Me" led by our 6th grade teacher, Miss Roe. To have been singing Duke Ellington would have been unthinkable.

Join in, sing the doowat, doowat, doowat, give that rhythim everything you've got!
