Alive and Kicking

Duke Ellington once famously said, "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing." He's one of several famous musicians referenced in director Susan Glatzer's documentary Alive and Kicking. The 2016 film tells the story of swing music and dancing and includes interviews with present-day practitioners. It makes its theatrical debut tonight at 7 at the Cleveland Museum of Art, where it screens again at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $9, $7 for CMA members, students and seniors. (Niesel)
