The Knickerbocker Chamber Orchestra is lucky to work with Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks, a NYC-based swing band with a devoted local following. You've seen Vince and The Nighthawks on TV and in plenty of films over the years. Recent projects include Woody Allen's Cafe Society, Barry Levinson's The Wizard of Lies, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Joker, and The Irishman. Check out a short documentary about Vince Giordano and his work as a bandleader, virtuosic musician and music preservationist. In the fall of 2020, the band released a recording with Loudon Wainwright III; listen to Vince and Loudon being interviewed about the music by Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air.
