Big Band Jazz music might not be as popular today as it was back in the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s, but don’t tell that to one local group who performs the classic music right here in Columbus Ohio. “Swing’s the Thing” Big Band, provides some of the time-honored sounds reminiscent of the swing and big band era on a regular basis and will perform this Friday, March 12th at the The Four Seasons Columbus.
