Jumpin' with the Big Bands
Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture
12/5/2009 to 4/24/2010
The Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture presents “Jumpin' with the Big Bands,” December 5, 2009 – April 24, 2010. The joint is jumpin' with America's pop music called swing. These groovy tunes locked up the nation in the 1930s and '40s, inspiring performance showmanship and dances like the Lindy Hop. Swing united a mass audience and encouraged integration. New recording and radio technologies transformed swing into a national craze. The era comes alive in the gallery through film clips, jazz archive images, microphones and musical instruments. Museum hours are Wednesday - Saturday: 10am - 6pm.

Adults: $7, Seniors: $5, Students: $5
