New Swing Sextet's Swinging' Along

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMxtC-64m6M

Description: In the summer of 1969, the New Swing Sextet brought barrio swagger into midtown Manhattan, posing for the *Swingin’ Along* cover amid the grit and bustle of New York, NY 10018. Their sharp suits and easy camaraderie reflect a moment when boogaloo and Latin soul were reshaping the city’s sound, spilling out of dance halls and record shops into the streets. Standing here, you can almost hear timbales echoing off the surrounding brick and steel, as if the band has just stepped out from a late-night gig onto the sidewalk. This is one of the featured stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
