Tribute to Benny Goodman at the Holidays<br />
Relive the legendary concert that made Benny Goodman the most celebrated<br />
jazz bandleader of his day, at a festive 2 p.m. performance at the Norris Theatre.<br />
Goodman was at the height of his career in 1938 when he and his band,<br />
which included such musicians as Harry James, Gene Krupa, Teddy Wilson,<br />
Lionel Hampton and Count Basie, performed at Carnegie Hall and redefined<br />
popular music. A re-creation of that iconic concert, mixed with some classic<br />
Christmas tunes, features the All Star Benny Goodman Tribute Orchestra with<br />
special guest vocalists Peter Marshall and Polly Podewell, the last female singer<br />
to perform with Goodman and his orchestra. Hosted by singing impressionist<br />
Paul Boland. Tickets are $75-$80 and can be purchased by calling the box<br />
office at 310-544-0403 or online at palosverdesperformingarts.com. 27570<br />
