Craig Gildner, a dynamic band leader, male vocalist, guitarist and pianist — can never get enough of the music called swing. Craig, a musician blessed with perfect pitch, finds that the pulse of an upright bass, accompanied by the open hi-hat cymbal rhythms, syncopated saxophones and trumpets are what make him smile.

Craig is local to DC, and instrumental in the lindy scene, keeping swing lovers dancing with his musicianship as well as his love and care for the swing dancers themselves.
