And While You're Here…
On March 21st it’s a tribute to the original ladies of jazz in “Flying High: Big Band Canaries who soared” at California Center for the Arts Escondido. Jazz canaries – Ella, Billie, Dinah, and even Rosemary Clooney and Doris Day – started off in the great big bands and went on to their own even greater solo careers. Now Champian Fulton shares the stage with Count Basie vocalist Carmen Bradford and the Hot Sardines Elizabeth Bougerol to swing the memorable tunes of the jazz canaries. Tickets and information are found here.
