Festival Details
The West Coast Big Band Showcase is designed to be a major celebration of our return to live music and an opportunity to present
an array of Los Angeles’ finest big bands. We’re also pleased to present special concerts celebrating three legendary west coast leaders including a Buddy Collette Centennial concert, a Sammy
Nestico memorial tribute and a salute to living legend Bill Holman.
I hope you can join us.
