I was terrified to attend my first dance alone, even paced outside the building until Linda happened to see me outside and stopped to chat. 

"When I expressed my fear of walking in alone, she took my arm so we could walk in together. That simple action changed my life and started a whole new world of dance friends that I couldn't even imagine.

As a widow with both children on their own, and retirement quickly approaching, I had no idea what to do to enhance my social life! That dance, that night, and the lessons with Linda and Chester answered that question for me.”

ABOUT THE BAND: Take a growling horn section, a grooving and soulful rhythm section, a woodwind virtuoso/vocalist frontman, add the soul of a New Orleans party, and you’ve got Professor Cunningham and his Old School. This award-winning New York-based band performs the most swinging and grooving repertoire deeply steeped in the New Orleans tradition; from early jazz to early R&B— the likes of Sidney Bechet, Fats Waller, even Fats Domino! It is one of the most sought after Hot Jazz Bands on the international scene.

The group is fronted by in-demand vocalist/reedman Adrian Cunningham, an Australian native based in NYC, and one of his home country’s finest jazz exports. The ensemble consists of some of the most energetic and accomplished musicians on the New York circuit, and has been a regular hit in the NYC scene; performing at some of the city’s finest speakeasy shows (Shanghai Mermaid, Gemini and Scorpio) and regularly performing to packed houses at some of the city’s best venues (BB Kings, Cutting Room, Swing 46, The Back Room).

They have also performed many major events worldwide including Blue Note Jazz Festival (NYC) Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Illawa Jazz Festival (Poland), CPLX (Copenhagen), New York Hot Jazz Festival, Snowball Swing Festival (Sweden) Copenhagen Lindy Exchange (Denmark) Melbourne International Jazz Festival, (Australia), Sopot Molo Jazz Festival (Poland), World Jam (Madrid) , Smokey Feet (Amsterdam). They are the recipients of the Best Band Award, two years in a row at the World Jam competition in Madrid, (2016 and 2017) and Best Band Award at Harlem 2017 (Vilnius, Lithuania).

Professor Cunningham and his Old School is like a New Orleans party, without the hangover.

I saw Linda and Chester for the first time at the Spiegeltent in 2011. It was such fun!

"After their beginner lesson I was asked by a pleasant young man to dance even though we were not in the same age bracket and I was much less skilled than he. Also a woman was dancing right in front of our table and having the best of all possible time. I thought to myself that this was a social group that I would have plenty in common with once I took lessons. I chased Linda down and asked for a business card. I have been swing dancing ever since and have never regretted it. It makes me feel so much better emotionally and physically."--Wendy, Red Hook
