Ain't Misbehavin'
Ain't Misbehavin' In the 1920's and 30's, in a time when Manhattan nightclubs like the Savoy Ballroom where the playgrounds of high society, dives were filled with piano players banging out the new beat known as swing. One such musician, a part of the Harlem Renaissance, was Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller. Let us take you back as five performers present an evening of rowdy, raunchy, and humorous songs that encapsulate the various moods of the era and reflect Waller's view of life as a journey meant for pleasure and play.
