A legacy of swingTribute to Glenn Miller and the Band

Leaders will get you In the mood with anafternoon of rollicking music from the SwingEra. The concert features The Tex BenekeOrchestra, known for playing songs thatGlenn Miller made famous — such asChattanooga Choo Choo and (I’ve Got a Galin) Kalamazoo.

When Miller disappeared on a 1944 flightto Paris, his widow appointed Tex Beneke totake over the Glenn Miller Air Force Band. Thegroup eventually evolved into the Tex BenekeOrchestra, which is currently under theleadership of saxophonist Jim Snodgrass, whohas toured with the Beach Boys, FrankSinatra, Ella Fitzgerald.

More than a game show hostSince his days as a band singer at age 15,

Peter Marshall has tackled nearly every facetof entertainment: stage, screen, television,radio, and music. Best known as the host ofthe five-time Emmy-winning game showHollywood Squares, Marshall also appearedon The Love Boat, WKRP in Cincinnati, andSabrina the Teenage Witch. He was in stageproductions of Bye-Bye-Birdie, 42nd Street,Broadway’s Skyscraper, and La Cage AuxFolles.

From kazoos to musical immortalityVocal Hall of Fame inductee The Mills

Brothers, featuring John Mills hit the musiccharts with 71 singles. As youngsters, thebrothers performed on street corners, imitatinginstruments with kazoos. When the teensforgot their kazoos once, they improvised thesounds of musical instruments with theirvoices while cupping their hands over theirmouths, which became their musicalbreakthrough. The group lit up the airwavesand charts with Tiger Rag; Nobody’sSweetheart; Dinah; Chinatown, MyChinatown; Sweet Sue; Paper Doll; and YouAlways Hurt the One You Love.

Bridging Pop and Rock ‘n’ RollKnown for their lush vocal sound, The

Chordettes began as a barbershop quartetspecializing in traditional popular music. Theensemble’s sound evolved with the changingmusical landscape to yield hits such as Bornto Be With You, Mr. Sandman, and Eddie MyLove. The group successfully straddled thefence between Pop and the then-emergingRock ‘n’ Roll realm, delivering the catchyLollipop and Never on Sunday. TheChordettes was inducted into The VocalGroup Hall of Fame in 2001.

Polly Podewell, whose songs include I’mOld Fashioned and All of Me, has toured withlegends Benny Goodman, Buddy Rich, andWoody Herman.

Nominated for a Grammy for her albumThis Is My Lucky Day!, Madeline Vergarisang for President Richard Nixon at the WhiteHouse and at President Ronald Reagan’sinauguration. Her vocals are featured in thefilm A Private Matter.

Bonnie Bowden has worked with manybig names in the music industry, includingStevie Wonder and Sergio Mendes. Herversion of Indian Summer was nominated fora Grammy in the “Best Female Pop Vocal”category.
