MCG Jazz Spotlight on the Sands, Las Vegas - Frank, Lena, Sammy and More - The MCGJazz Spotlight

Marty Ashby transports us to the legendary Copa Room at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, where the biggest stars of the golden age of entertainment turned every night into an unforgettable event.

The playlist opens with the elegance of Lena Horne, to the boundless energy of Louis Prima, then the incomparable talents of Sammy Davis Jr, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. Many of the performers backed by the Count Basie Orchestra.

These aren't simply live recordings—they're snapshots of legends in their natural habitat, performing before packed houses on one of the world's most iconic stages.
