We are incredibly excited to have professional vocalist Rhonda Denet guest singing with the band. Rhonda performs throughout the metro NYC area as the lead singer in the Kazz Orchestra and as part of many other musical projects. Rhonda's vocal stylings will remind you of the days of Ella and Billie!

The evening's student guest will be the superb young vocalist,Libby Sokolowski, who sings with a maturity beyond her years and will be performing with SJP. The Kingston High School Jazz Ensemble will again be the lively and engaging opening act. The Swinging Jive Patrol, 10 piece professional jazz band, will be the featured performers and also accompany the vocalists and dancers.
