MINT JULEP JAZZ BAND – The Durham-based Mint Julep Jazz Band makes their New York debut on June 24, 2016 at Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing, an annual summer concert series that highlights an array of performers from dance music genres like salsa, disco, tango — and, of course, swing. With their little big band lineup of 4 horns, rhythm section, and vocalist, the Mint Julep Jazz Band recreates the jazz sounds of the 1920′s, 1930′s, and early 1940’s through arrangements based on original recordings from the jazz age and swing era. The Mint Julep Jazz Band is based out of Durham, NC and is led by trombonist Lucian Cobb and vocalist Laura Windley, who have put their collective knowledge and love of swing music together to create an ideal dance band for swing dancers.
