Listening to recorded big band music is like sipping an apple pie through a straw – you’re going to miss out on 99% of the fun. To really experience the full flavor of the music of the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s you must hear it live. And no band performs the hits of the era with more panache than the Coastal Cities Jazz Band. So run (or foxtrot, swing or jitterbug) to Carlsbad Community Church for the band’s latest concert, A Tribute to the Big Band Era. Hear such classic as Harry James’ “Trumpet Blues & Cantabile,” Les Brown’s “Leap Frog,” and Glenn Miller’s “Moonlight Serenade” to name but a few. Vocalists Michael Ruhl, Rick Evans and Ruby Presnell join the party during this evening of nostalgic chart-toppers guaranteed to get toes a-tapping and hearts a-flutter.
