On stage at the Sands Hotel with Count Basie and his Orchestra and conductor Quincy Jones, “Old Blue Eyes” had just turned 50, so Frank and his collaborators were all in their musical prime! Led by Director Steve Shaiman, SWINGTIME and vocalists Jerry Costanzo & Bobbie Ruth will re-create that magical night in Las Vegas on Dec. 31, 1965.
Tickets are $50 and include party favors and champagne.
