At some point I want to be able to do some of this:

So I did some searching around. There’s a pretty historic club in Columbia, SC called The Big Apple. Back in the day, it was a pretty hip place to be, and now, once a month, it’s a swing club again. I haven’t gotten a chance to check it out yet, but their next night is next friday (Feb. 5) so I’ll try to go. Hopefully, there’ll be a live little jazz combo, but even if not, it should be pretty neat. If you want to check it out, its on the Historic Columbia Foundation website (click Here for a direct link).
Other than learning the dance, for the past couple of years I’ve really enjoyed jazz, especially swing. I love playing it, and have become especially fond of the Baritone Sax parts. I’d love to practice up a bit and find a recreational jazz band somewhere and join.
