Down Beat Express
Big Band
Directed by Pat Emmett
Featuring
Vocalist
JENNIFER GATES
For
2013 SCS the emphasis will be "dance" for the Down Beat Express
"Dance" Big Band Summer Concert. Starting in the '30s for Benny
Goodman's "Let’s Dance", to the '40s with Glenn Miller's "In the
Mood", the '50s for Dick Clark's "Band Stand Boogie", and the
'60s Ray Charles hit "I Can't Stop Lovin You"...and a lot more in
between. There may even be some "Blues Brothers" blues.
Altadena's
own Jennifer Gates will sing the danceable hits of Frank Sinatra, Nat Cole,
Ella Fitzgerald and several others. All in all, a night of dance music and
"standards" from "The Great American Song Book"!
Accompanied
by Altadena’s own Down Beat Express a seventeen piece big band performing their
own arrangements of swing era standards and truly “blasts from the past” big
band hits. Pat Emmett is the music director.
So
join us and "let's Dance"!
