As a special tribute to the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and a heartfelt acknowledgement to "The Greatest Generation," The Capital Jazz Orchestra will perform the music of the legendary Glenn Miller on Sunday, October 4, at 4pm. The Capital Jazz Orchestra, under the direction of Clayton "Skip" Poole, will be joined by special guests Dave Scott, Liz Saunders, and the More Than Four vocal quartet for an evening that is sure to transport audiences back to the swing era with Miller classics including "In the Mood", "Pennsylvania 6-5000", "Chattanooga Choo Choo", "(I've Got a Gal In) Kalamazoo", and more!
Re-creating the role of The Modernaires will be the acclaimed vocal group More Than Four while Dave Scott and Liz Saunders will perform the roles of Ray Eberle and Marion Hutton. In addition to iconic songs like "Chatanooga Choo-Choo," "Kalamazoo," and "In the Mood," great dances from the 1940s will be performed by the talented dancers of The New England School of Dance. Spanning two of the most musical cities in the US, vocal quartet More Than Four finds inspiration in close harmonies, soaring melodies, and innovative grooves. Bass Tsunenori "Lee" ABE, an award-winning composer and arranger, came up with the concept when he found that his brief hiatus from vocal groups was too much for him to handle, and contacted soprano Katya Dreyer-Oren, a vocalist and songwriter who was about to move to New York. They came up with an idea of a group that would span cities, genres, and formats. They joined up with alto Liz Tobias, an internationally acclaimed Australian vocalist based in Boston, and tenor Michael Johnson, a singer, songwriter from Colorado with PhD in Jazz Voice. Together, More Than Four has created an innovative, blended, unique sound that will capture your mind and steal your heart.Ticket prices: $45 Gold Circle, $35 Orchestra/Mezzanine, $20 Balcony, $20 Students (All Sections).
