'It makes you want to get up and move': New 13-piece big band brings swing back to Yellowknife | CBC News

From right, Ben Webber, Al Jones, Sean Daly and Allan Yeoman practise for the Ragged Ass Swing Band's upcoming show at the Top Knight.

"When my wife and I moved up North, I said, 'I can't be here [for] years without music. So if there's nothing happening, I'm gonna make it happen,'" Jones said. "It's gotten better as we get used to each other," Jones told CBC during a rehearsal Monday evening at Mildred Hall School. "Everybody brings something to the table. It's a very good collaborative group."While impressively large, the band could stand to add a few more players, he continued. That's why Jones is looking forward to their debut performance at the Top Knight on Feb. 18 — which sold out within a week.

"Being a really terrible dancer myself, I would at least be able to not make a complete fool of myself trying to dance," he said. "It … just makes you want to get up and move."
