MasterClass Big Band: Open the Door to '24 New Year’s Eve don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing. But fear not, swingless lot! The Masterclass Big Band is once again taking over the Knitting Factory for a lively NYE shindig. The group always excels at mixing veteran local musicians with young fresh faces to span the generations via timeless tunes. This year’s guest vocalists include Jim Swoboda, Whitney Bertholic, Carson Moyer, Cathy Niblock, Melody Snyder and the a capella group Aca Bella. Why sit stationary and watch the ball drop on TV when you can instead get your dancing shoes on and have a ball with Masterclass Big Band?
