STJS presents Allen Goodman's Desert Cities Jazz Band featuring vocalist Debby Boone and clarinetist Hal Linden.

Debby Boone

Debby Boone hit the pop charts in 1977 when she dislodged the Beatles from their #1 spot on the Billboard Top 100 with her single, “You Light Up My Life” (10 weeks #1), for which she won the Grammy for Best New Artist. Since then, Debby has won two more Grammy Awards along with many other awards in the pop, gospel, and country fields. She recorded many albums including one with her late mother-in-law, Rosemary Clooney, and a tribute album to Rosemary Clooney that received a great review from Jazz Times. She is also featured on the Desert Cities Jazz Band CD issued late last year. She performed with the Boston Pops and at the West Coast Jazz Party last year, and regularly performs in theaters, nightclubs and with symphony orchestras around the country.

Hal Linden

Hal Linden, an accomplished jazz clarinetist, is a Tony Award winning actor who portrayed the beloved detective Barney Miller on television. He has recorded several big band CDs and is featured on the most recent CD by the DCJB.
