Five by DesignTake a trip back in time to the golden era of swing music with Five by Design, the vocal group who performed two "pops" concerts with the Las Cruces Symphony in January. Intermezzo host Leora Zeitlin interviewed Lorie Carpenter-Niska and her husband, Kurt Niska, who are two of the group's five singers, about swing music, costumes, how the group got started in college 20 years ago, and more. Along the way, you'll hear:
  1. "Traffic Jam/Bugle Call Rag"
  2. "In the Mood"
  3. "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie"
  4. "Hut Sut Song"
  5. "Sing, Sing, Sing" (excerpt)

All songs are performed by Five by Design from their cd, "Club Swing"
