Lynn DiMenna was, for nearly ten years, host/producer of "Welcome to the Club", a radio show heard on WRTN-WVOX in Westchester. She has interviewed well over three hundred Broadway, cabaret and jazz legends, hottest stars and brightest newcomers and introduced her listeners to the music of hundreds more. She recently moved to WVOF–88.5FM in Fairfield, Ct. as co-host with Jeffrey C. Williams of "AT THE RITZ!," covering swing, big band, jazz, cabaret and Sinatra.As a performer, she has appeared in many of the area’s finest cabarets and supper clubs including the Oak Room at The Algonquin Hotel, Arci’s, Judy’s and Danny’s Skylight Room. She has been a featured vocalist with The Stan Rubin Orchestra and has also made guest appearances with The Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw and Count Basie Orchestras. "Sweet & Swing" is her debut recording.

Product Description
Back in the heyday of the Big Band era, the trade journals would conduct pools, allowing readers to vote for their favorite "sweet" and "swing" band. "Sweet" connoted a somewhat sentimental sound, while swing referred to a harder driving beat with instrumental solos. This CD is a collection of carefully chosen songs inspired by those bands of the 30s and 40s, and the popular music of the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
