The Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association (CGOA) Jazz Collective, under the dynamic direction of Michael Paul, invites couples and music lovers to step back in time for a romantic evening of big band swing at their Valentine’s Day Dance. The event will take place at The Ruins in Hood River on Valentine’s Day, beginning at 7:00 PM.
This special performance promises to transform The Ruins into a sophisticated jazz venue, where the CGOA Jazz Collective will perform timeless classics from the greatest names in jazz and big band history. The evening’s repertoire features an impressive selection of dance-worthy arrangements, including Stan Kenton’s tender rendition of “My Funny Valentine,” the infectious rhythm of Benny Goodman’s “Bei Mir Bist Du Schön,” and the passionate Latin flair of Arturo Sandoval’s “Mambo Caliente.”
