I have a very large collection of Big Band, Swing, Dixieland, and old Jazz recordings and every time I visit my daughter I play some of them while my twin grand daughters are eating. I'am going to make sure they grow up knowing about this music.

I'm glad you do that. I try to expose my little girl to all sorts of music too. I'm certainly glad my parents exposed me to lots of music. They would take me to see many of the big bands that were still touring in the 70's. Count Baise, Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Louie Belson, and several great Latin acts like Celia Cruz and Tito Puente. Plus we see all sorts music theater and symphonic concerts as well.
