For more than 30 years The Anthony Joseph Swingtet has entertained audiences in and around central New York with their musical energy and interpretations of classic jazz standards and ballads. The group offers the listener a ‘swingin’ sound that is smooth, sweet, and in the groove. Usually performing as a small combo (trio, quartet or quintet), the group has been described as providing a ‘chamber music-like’ jazz setting, creating a pleasant atmosphere that is comfortable for the listener to be absorbed in the music. It is also quite obvious that the band genuinely enjoys performing and will naturally develop a friendly rapport with their audience.
The Fulton Lions Club, sponsors of the September 12 Charby’s Duck Derby, provides financial assistance for those in need of eyeglasses, eye exams, and hearing aids to residents in the Greater Fulton area.
