VERO BEACH \u2013 The Space Coast Symphony Orchestra will open its 18th performing season with style, swing, and a whole lot of personality, when its Jazz Orchestra presents, Sinatra & the Wonderful World of Oz on Sunday, June 21 at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
The concert at the Emerson Center, 1590 27th Avenue in Vero Beach, brings together two unforgettable worlds: the wide-eyed wonder of The Wizard of Oz and the effortless cool of Frank Sinatra. Andrew Cleaver leads the Jazz Orchestra, joined by Central Florida crooner, Mark Romeo.<\/p>\n
The concert starts off with Phil Wilson\u2019s jazz reimagining of the treasured songs from over the rainbow, followed by the iconic \u201cOne O\u2019Clock Jump,\u201d the signature theme song of the Count Basie Orchestra.<\/p>\n
Then the program transforms into a live recreation of Sinatra at the Sands, the legendary 1966 Copa Room performance widely considered the greatest live recording Sinatra ever made.<\/p>\n
Guest vocalist Mark Romeo will sing the songs of \u201cOld Blue Eyes\u201d from that iconic night, including \u201cCome Fly with Me,\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve Got You Under My Skin,\u201d \u201cFly Me to the Moon,\u201d \u201cIt Was a Very Good Year,\u201d \u201cMy Kind of Town\u201d and more.<\/p>\n

Cleaver toured extensively as the lead saxophonist for the Air Force\u2019s Glenn Miller Band in Europe, before performing and recording with the prestigious Airmen of Note.<\/p>\n \u201cThis amazing jazz concert will feel a lot like a supper club performance,\u201d said Mr. Cleaver. \u201cIt turns out the yellow brick road leads straight to the Copa Room of the Sands in 1966.\u201d<\/p>\n The Space Coast Symphony Orchestra is one of only a handful of U.S. orchestras to perform year-round.
