Jazz fans and San Francisco residents/neighbors... mark your calendars! :)
On Thursday, Novemeber 9, as part of the San Francisco Jazz Festival, there will be a special show featuring the stylings of our favorite girl, Ms. Betty Boop!
SFJAZZ presents BETTY BOOP: Tunes and Toons featuring LAVAY SMITH and her RED HOT SKILLET LICKERS!
"Boop-oop-a-doop!" Max Fleischer’s classic ’toon heroine Betty Boop was not only the sultriest animated star of the ’30s—she was a jazz singer! This fun-filled multimedia show includes classic Boop films featuring animated co-stars like Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, and other early jazz legends, along with swingin’ sounds of Betty’s heyday performed in concert by real-life chanteuse Lavay Smith and her much-loved band of Bay Area swing and jump-blues all-stars, the Red Hot Skillet Lickers.
