A typical weekend for the artists of GGMI involves rockin' a party at the Waldorf-Astoria for excited newlyweds, a big band performance for jazz aficionados at the classic West Village club Smalls, an exhibition of sophisticated dance music for celebrants atop Rockefeller Center at the Rainbow Room, a jaunt to Jordan, Switzerland, Japan, or Brazil for a jazz festival, and an evening of hot swing at Times Square's SWING46 for accomplished dancers and troves of tourists alike. The ability to cross seamlessly from parties to jazz to swing is the engine that propels GGMI!
