Show of hands: How many of you know the name of Sammy Nestico? I confess to having only a vague familiarity with Sammy until the Monday Nite Big Band began their First Monday shows at Barking Legs. He arranged for the Count Basie band for the better part of 20 years, which brought him a share in 4 Grammy awards. Sammy lived a long and highly productive musical life, and his Wikipedia page will give you a nice glimpse into his world.

The bottom line: The Monday Nite Big Band will bring his rich and swinging sounds to life at Barking Legs!
