Offering refreshing, infectious and hard-driving swing in the spirit of Benny Goodman, the Highlands Ranch-based After Midnight was organized in 1997. The sextet’s repertoire incorporates music from Artie Shaw, Lionel Hampton, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennet. After Midnight also enjoys adding swing sounds from today’s popular performers.
