Angel City Big Band’s Salute to USO! Swinging Jazz Show
Madrid Theatre (Canoga Park, CA)
The 18-piece Angel City Big Band pays tribute to the famed U.S.O. camp shows of the ’40s and beyond, complete with headlining vocalists Douglas Swander and Jan Roper, swing dancers and back-up singers. The original morale-boosting shows — which kicked off in WWII and continued through the Korean and Vietnam Wars right up to today — featured some of the biggest stars of the time, including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Marilyn Monroe, Bing Crosby, the Andrews Sisters and more.
