SOMETHING COOL Something Cool is a celebration of the great vocalists of the west coast jazz era and the arrangers who wrote the charts they sang. Many instrumental musicians from the west coast era have gained notoriety but the vocalists are often overlooked. This festival remedies that with a four day extravaganza that features the great vocalists of today performing the original arrangements written by the west coast giants. In addition to the concerts there are film showings, panels and special presentations that will cover a wide range of singers, arrangers, accompanists and lyricists. I hope you will plan to join us.
