Vocalist Marlena Studer leads an all-star ensemble of jazz musicians in a Swinging Tribute to the 1930s, a time in U.S. history when the economy let people down but music lifted them back up again.

Marlena’s jazz ensemble will also delight the audience with a sneak preview into her recording project on the “roaring twenties,” which breathes fresh energy into timeless tunes from great composers such as Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Fats Waller and the Gershwin’s.

Pianist Ellen Rowe, bassist Paul Keller, drummer Scott Kretzer, guitarist Steve Ragsdale and vocalist Chris Kendall join Marlena at the Blue Llama.
