Hearnshaw plays Goodman & Hearnshaw

The core of this band's repertoire is swinging Goodman, peppered with a few early jazz pieces and some original latin and swing tunes.

Charlie is not trying to imitate Goodman; instead he puts his own stamp on some of the great tunes that his hero played and mixes them with some of his own to provide a balanced set with a wide appeal.

~ Tunes by Benny Goodman.
~ Charlie's compositions
~ Tunes by other bands Goodman played with.

There is a lot of variety; people who love jazz but are not necessarily crazy about Goodman can still enjoy the concert.
