CenterStage: Tribute to Benny Goodman (Saturday, Oct. 24 at 2 p.m.)

The Best of Benny – A Tribute to Benny Goodman by the Terry Myers Orchestra

When big bands ruled the airwaves, Benny Goodman was a household name, leading the music world and generations of new fans into the “hot” new era of dance-room only jazz and on through the years with his be-bop and cool jazz stylings. Now you too can take a step – or a swing – back in time to enjoy the sounds of the era with accomplished clarinetist Terry Myers and his renowned orchestra as they pay tribute to the King of Swing. From “The Very Thought of You” to “Bugle Call Rag” to “Moonglow”, Myers and the orchestra pay a fitting tribute to Goodman and the wonderful generation that made the music popular in the first place.
