CURTIS STIGERS CHANNELS THE HIP, SWINGING CHEMISTRY OF FRANK SINATRA AND THE COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA

50 years ago, magic was made on the stage of the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, when the timeless cool of Frank Sinatra met the robust swing of the Count Basie Orchestra. Sinatra at the Sands has remained a beloved classic ever since, the perfect marriage of old-school pop and big band jazz.

Singer, songwriter and saxophonist Curtis Stigers has been bringing those worlds together in his own music for the last three decades (along with touches of nearly every other genre one could call to mind), which makes him an ideal candidate to reinterpret Ol’ Blue Eyes’ cherished repertoire for modern ears. On his twelfth album and ninth release for Concord Records, One More for the Road, Stigers captures the rare alchemy of hipness, elegance, playfulness and feeling that made Sinatra’s renditions of these songs immortal while adding his own unique twist.

Live in Resonance, Stigers performs songs from the album along with other standards; joined by the Seattle-based, Full Circle Big Band, comprised entirely of heavy weight musicians, all soloists in their own right.

Festival-goers may have several acts and venues from which to choose, but only Resonance features a world class performer like Stigers backed by a full seventeen piece big band, all in the comfort of our stylish, sophisticated, modern, intimate, and superior acoustic. Select a seat at a table, enjoy a glass of quality wine, and soak in the sounds of masterful music-making. Not a bad seat in the house, no seat is less than 12 yards from the stage.
