Jazz 88.3is bringing "The Wrecking Crew" to the Saville Theater for (2) shows on Saturday, July 20. The film offers a behind-the-scenes look at a group of studio musicians in 1960s Los Angeles who played with some of the most influential and talented musicians to date; everybody from the Beach Boys and Frank Sinatra, to Lalo Schifrin and Nat King Cole. And if the names Tommy Tedesco, Hal Blaine, or Carol Kaye also ring a bell, then this is a film you MUST see! It's also a chance for you to support your favorite Jazz Station, too, as a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales go directly to Jazz 88.3! Also, Jazz 88.3 Members get a discount (just use "Miles" as the promo code). Click here for tickets!
Roberta Donnay and the Prohibition Mob Band play our next Jazz Live on Tuesday, June 25. She's an award winning songbird and the band are some mugs that mean business.

Remember the new parking structure at 15th & Broadway and the parking permit that goes with it.
