With every performance, they deliver a spirited homage to the roots of old school swing, while infusing it with a contemporary freshness that appeals to a wide array of listeners. Albums like "Swinging The Spirituals" and singles like "When The Saints Go Marching In" and "Bye and Bye" emphasize their ability to traverse musical traditions, proving that the group is equally at home with the soulful depths of spirituals as they are with the light-hearted swing. Despite facing challenges like those chronicled in "The Lockdown Blues," Professor Cunningham and His Old School continue to thrive, spreading joy and the timeless spirit of swing wherever they play.
