club, the Roxy, over four years, and was the first swing big band to receive
Boston Magazine’s “Best Dance Band” award. WHSO has backed up Tony Bennett
and Cab Calloway at the Roxy, and Norah Jones at Lincoln Center and recorded
for Warner Brothers and Walt Disney, and was profiled on CBS News Tonight.
The White Heat Swing Orchestra has many credits, including:
