The Metro Jazz Club had a three-hour gig at the April 2010 Georgia Tech Dance Association Dance last night, April 23, 2010. Located in the Student Activities Center in the heart of the downtown campus, this dance is a monthly affair, open to the public, just for those who love to dance, or would love to learn to dance.

The venue was the large ballroom on the third floor. A nice place to play, good acoustics, and plenty of room for the 200-plus students and friends to swing about all night — and they did so with the energy of true fans, dancing every minute of all three sets.

MJC was set on a large stage at one end, with plenty of ceiling space overhead to allow the high notes to soar above the dancing crowd. Just about every fast swing song in our repertoire was rolled out for this occasion, and the attendees appreciated our efforts.

Glad thanks to the organizers of the event. Be sure to make the trip the next time we’re asked to play. It’ll be worth your time!
