10-piece big band led by Chris Smith, specializing in hot jazz of the 1920s and 30s. Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Duke Ellington and other jazz legends are prominent in their repertoire. Great for listening or dancing.
Vocalist Marlena Studer leads an all-star ensemble of jazz musicians in a tribute to the Jazz Age, a time in U.S. history that burst forth with musical, cultural and artistic dynamism. Marlena’s jazz ensemble will 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.Marlena Studer-VocalsChris Kendall-VocalsRowan Tucker-Meyer-PianoPaul Vornhagen-SaxophoneDavid Stearns-BassPete Siers-DrumsSteve Ragsdale-Guitar
