An all-star Gillespie big band tears it up with Dizzy’s original charts, followed by today’s vocal stars and musicians performing classics from Ella Fitzgerald’s songbook years with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. More (CALENDAR with lots of Gustavo Dudamel with the LA Philharmonic)

NOTES FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
(WQ) Prices vary from $1 to $8 to more than $100 per seat. Tickets likely to be available night of the show, no matter what anyone says. And there are scalpers all over the place trying to unload tickets at giveaway prices or whatever they can haggle; walk away and watch the price drop. Cheap unofficial parking down the street as well as arriving by Metro Buses from all over Los Angeles. Arrive early for best parking and to picnic (bring a full basket) inside the venue.
