Buttery Voiced Swinger
Seattle P-I
A Crooner of the highest caliber
Atomic Magazine
Casey McGill and the Blue Four Trio played '30s and '40s swing and jump blues. The acoustics in the room are fantastic—who knew?—and the band's set was like a live version of KUOW's Swing Years and Beyond.

New York Times review of the musical "Swing"
A lone guy comes onstage, singing and plucking a ukulele. Your mind starts humming....Suddenly--bam!--the lights blaze and an art deco bandstand designed by Thomas Lynch rolls forward, swarming with musicians dressed for a sweaty, 1940's night of music. Casey MacGill rejoins his band, Gotham City Gates, as Ellington's "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" rocks the house. The audience about dies of pleasure.
