Lunch | Taco Truck & Discussion with Grammy-nominated Colin Hancock!
Grab your Top Tacos & Join us for lunch with Colin Hancock in the Ballroom! Have you ever wondered how those original swing hits like “Jive at Five,” “O O’Clock Jump,” and “Sing, Sing, Sing” were first made? Well, Grammy Nominated jazz historian and multi-instrumentalist Colin Hancock will give a presentation on just that, presenting and demonstrating the technology that captured those original sounds of the swing era. In addition to showcasing different kinds of cool old records and fun old machines, Hancock will also cut and play back a record in front of the audience–and maybe with them too!”
