The Robert Holts Orchestra is pleased to bring you an evening fiesta of swing and Latin jazz spanning two continents. We will have music from the streets of New York as sung by the fabulous New York Voices; to glittering arrangements as played in L. A. by Doc Severinson and The Tonight Show Band; to hot and fiery Afro-Cuban music as played by Stan Kenton; and a sprinkling of the burning sambas, boleros, Bossa novas, and tangos from South America.
Once again, we will feature the fabulous vocal stylings of Rosalie Porter, Bret Kelly, and Michael Morales, and our own magnificent jazz vocal group, The Mellowtones.
As a special treat, our own tenor sax genius, Joey Placenti, will perform a medley of Antonio Carlos Jobim songs, played in the Stan Getz style.

"I see a different kind of discourse going on by taking away the fourth wall and losing that distance between the performer and the audience - which can be a 20-foot gap with an orchestra pit."
"In a more intimate space, the audience is remarkably close to the performance. That enables the audience to physically and visually experience the work in a whole new way."

Alan Munde Gazette will highlight the 10th Annual Old Town Temecula Bluegrass Festival March 20 & 21, 2010.

Kelly is extremely versatile fiddler is well known in all musical circles in which fiddle is played. His career has spanned decades, and has also included forays into the country, newgrass, swing, and bebop realms. His exciting fiddle style and soaring tenor voice are sure to delight all.
