For all events, we are focusing on SAFETY. We have improved air filtration inside the Kelly Center for the safety of Customers, Staff and Performers. We have upgraded to Hospital Grade HEPA air filtration, Negative Air Ion filters and Apple Catechin filters with antiviral and antibacterial properties. These upgrades trap and deactivate microscopic bacteria and viruses, and can diminish or prevent the spread of diseases. Our HVAC draws in fresh air from outside, completely turning the inside air over every 5 minutes. We open the windows when appropriate to improve fresh air flow.
Frank Sinatra on Bruce Klauber:
"It is quite obvious you are an educated student of American popular music, and your knowledge of some marvelous and memorable years in America's musical history is truly impressive. Your warm words supporting my music and my efforts as a musician honor me and touched me deeply."
Bruce Klauber is the biographer of jazz legends Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa, one of the Technical Advisers on the Oscar-winning "Whiplash" film, concert and record producer, entertainment journalist, and working jazz drummer and vocalist for more than five decades. His association with the Sinatra family, in his guise as a writer/producer, dates back to the mid-1980s. Last spring, he produced a sell-out concert featuring singer AJ Lambert, Mr. Sinatra's granddaughter. The "Bruce Klauber Swings Frank Sinatra" program, with Tom Glenn on guitar and Doug Drewes on bass, focuses on the jazz side of the Frank Sinatra songbook as well as the first-person backstories behind The Man and His Music.
