Sammy Davis Jr., and Al Jarreau: Two Masters of Song! The Candyman meets the Acrobat of Scat! On March 22nd at BLUJAZZ in Akron, The Dave Banks Big Band pays homage to two of the greatest singers of our time, Sammy Davis Jr., and Al Jarreau! Both could handle every style from jazz to pop and did it in their own unique way. The DBBB features our very own Stanley Davis as he delivers songs from the libraries of both these iconic performers.
