One of Boston’s best swing, Latin and Top 40 bands entertained more than 100 seniors at a sold-out concert at the Stanley Senior Center on Friday.

Bob Defelice and Steve Heck from the Kings of Swing performed live before a packed and toe-tapping audience, covering such classics as “In the Mood,” “Oh Dolly,” “Take the A Train” and “New York New York.”

The band has performed all over New England and played with other top acts over the years, including Buddy Rich, Count Basie and Duke Ellington.

The Council on Aging offers several social gatherings for seniors over 60 and their families. See the January calendar for end-of-month events.
