Broadway powerhouse Eden Espinosa (Wicked) and Joseph Leo Bwarie (Jersey Boys) join the composer's son Sam Arlen and singers Karon Blackwell and George Bugatti, in a Hollywood big band tribute to Harold Arlen. Legends like Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald gave Arlen a revered place in the Great American Songbook with their performances of his over 400 songs such as “It’s Only a Paper Moon” and “Stormy Weather.” Arlen’s musical roots extend through his jazz years at the Cotton Club in Harlem all the way to Hollywood and the Academy Award-winning Wizard of Oz.
