REX ALLEN'S five-piece SWING EXPRESS® headlines Sausalito Jazz & Blues By The Bay, Friday June 7, at Sausalito's waterfront Gabrielson Park, from 6:30 - 8PM. Admission is free. 

The date marks trombonist/vibraphonist and bandleader Allen's small Swing band's 35th anniversary of jazz festival, private party and recording engagements throughout the United States. The SWING EXPRESS is making its first appearance for Jazz & Blues By The Bay.

Joining Allen will be Swing Era singing luminary JOHNNY MARTIN, whose voice graced the original TOMMY DORSEY and BENNY GOODMAN Orchestras, and was featured for years on DANNY KAYE'S production and TV shows.

Allen fronted the TOMMY DORSEY and GENE KRUPA Orchestras, and his 14-piece REX ALLEN BIG BAND has performed three national tours, including its 75-city 1993 Salute To Glenn Miller before 160,000 Swing fans.

Joining him on the SWING EXPRESS is clarinetist/saxophonist JEFF SANFORD; Mill Valley piano legend SI PERKOFF; San Rafael bassist BOB STEELE; and drummer ED MARGOLIN.

Sausalito’s summertime Jazz & Blues by the Bay concerts have become legendary local favorites. Breathtaking views of Angel Island, San Francisco and the Bay provide the backdrop for this Friday night celebration at Gabrielson Park in downtown Sausalito. Turn toward the water onto Anchor St. from Bridgeway, at the Sausalito Ferry Terminal.
