Born to Swing chronicles the life and times of “Queen of Keys,” Lillette Jenkins-Wisner. Liilette was a child prodigy who performed and taught music until her death at 94 years of age. She also helped revolutionize what it meat to be a black woman In America’s entertainment industry. At age 11, she performed at Carnegie Hall. It was the 1930s, and as she later said, "Black people didn’t perform there." She and her husband moved to Nevada, becoming the first Black people to own a nightclub/casino there: Lillette’s Rhythm Club. She performed on the road for soldiers during World II, and toured worldwide.

Over the course of her career, she played with Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, Billy Joel, and more. Nat King Cole gave her the name "Queen of Keys."

In her older age, she reinvented herself as the “Silver Fox” and continued performing and directing, in addition to raising millions for charity work.

The show will be at the Manatee Performing Arts Center and will feature some of my all time favorite people to make music with; Vincent Sims on guitar and Ron Gregg on drums
