Swingin' on a Star
February 13, 2011 - 3:00 - Mesa Arts Center
Melt the last of winter away with a
jolt of hot swing! Audiences around the Valley know when it comes
to Big Band, the Salt River Brass is smokin’ hot - and these cats
got swing. Stars of today shine brightly in this Big Band tribute
to stars of the past – Ella Fitzgerald, Gene Krupa, and Woody Hermann.
Legendary jazz singer Margo Reed grooves to the tones of big band brass
featuring world class percussionist Dan Bukvich and special guest clarinetist
Jeff Quamo. Woodchopper’s Ball,
Apple Honey, the St. Louis Blues and Sing, Sing, Sing
keep the hall hopping and the heart from stopping! You’re
in for a jump-jivin’, roof-raisin’, rompin’ good time.
