Jazz at the Ballroom announces Get Out of Town!. This concert will be on Saturday, May 13th at 8PM at the Californai Center for the Arts- Escondido. It’s a swinging tour of the country through American Songbook! The birthplace of the Songbook was New York but that didn’t stop musicians from creating a catalogue of memorable tunes about other cities. It’s a show of recognizable standards with a dozen stops in places like Chicago, Rhode Island, Alabama, San Francisco, and even down Route 66.

KSDS is celebrating the one and only Duke Ellington. Duke’s birthday is Saturday so KSDS will be playing classic and rare recordings throughout the day today all connected to Duke. KSDS will also air Ellington’s extended works at the top of each hour. Celebrating the one and only Duke Ellington, HAPPENING NOW. Only on KSDS, San Diego’s Jazz 88.3 and Jazz 88.org.
