About: The Swing Tones A Downtown Disney favorite and flagship ensemble of Aaron Jacobs Productions are Los Angeles’ premier 13-piece vocal jazz big band. Led by KPFK radio host Aaron Jacobs, the group fuses the nostalgic glamour of classic swing with bold, “swingafied” reinterpretations of modern pop.

The Swing Tones have performed at renowned venues including Tropicana Laughlin, Herb Alpert’s Vibrato Grill Jazz, The Write-Off Room, and the Downtown Disney Mainstage. Their repertoire spans beloved vocal jazz standards—from Manhattan Transfer favorites like Boy From New York City and Operator to Andrews Sisters classics such as Sing, Sing, Sing and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy—alongside original arrangements that reimagine artists from Motown to Oingo Boingo to Shawn Mendes and Jessie Ware.

Known for their infectious energy and lush vocal harmonies, The Swing Tones’ retrofitted take on modern music keeps audiences swinging, smiling, and coming back for more.

About: Catalina Jazz Club The American dream came true for Catalina Popescu in October of 1986 when she and her husband Bob created a supper club devoted to serving an experience of superb eats and the shared magic of live performance. That grand experience began at the door where every night her mother Maria would greet each guest as family and share in their love of music. Housed in Hollywood and decked out in a timeless charm, the club offers a cozy ambience under sparkling stage lights garnished with its signature concoction — Jazz. The first artist to grace the stage was the masterful flutist and saxophonist Buddy Collette, and ever since then, over the past 36 years, the Catalina Jazz Club has hosted the most illustrious legends of all time — from the powerful puffers of Dizzy Gillespie to the electrified fingers of McCoy Tyner, the bubbly belt of Dee Dee Bridgewater and Lynda Carter, the flirtatious saxophone of Joshua Redman, the slick strumming of Kenny Burrell, the insane drum clinic of Steve Gadd, the romance of Steve Tyrell, and the masterclass of Mike Stern. For Catalina, Jazz is our way of life. It breathes pain. It knows love. It dreams hope. It bleeds courage. Whether we’re showcasing Broadway, Soul, R&B, or stand-up comedy, the lesson learned from all the greats who have serenaded our spirits is how to connect to one another.

The Catalina Jazz Club has been honored by A.S.M.A.C., California Jazz Foundation, Los Angeles Jazz Society, and a City of Los Angeles Certificate of Appreciation on their 25th Anniversary, which was awarded by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the LA City Council.
