ABOUT THE SHOW 

Jazz musicians Erika Paul and David Aller take seniors on a trip down memory lane through the Classic American Songbook and jazz standards. This engaging and entertaining program follows the popular development of jazz music, from Dixieland and The Roaring 20s to the present day. Seniors will recall the works of artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Peggy Lee, The Gershwin Brothers, Louis Armstrong, Cole Porter, and more as they tap, clap, snap, move, and sing along to the “feel good” music performed by this dynamic duo.
