A Night of Big Band Glamour Under the Stars

Two jazz worlds collide on November 7 as "The Glamour Girl of Jazz" Allyson Briggs joins forces with celebrated Big Band leader Dan Gabel and his orchestra for a stunning evening of classic jazz, Great American Songbook standards, and golden-era glamour. Hailed by Michael Feinstein as "one of the most incredible talents out there today," Briggs brings her uniquely sweet tone as Fluer Seule and multilingual star power to the Banyan Bowl stage, backed by a world-class orchestra that the Boston Globe calls "the real deal."
