Tuesday morning the Big Band Alumni, 17-piece big band of Los Angeles, rehearses from 11am to 1pm at the Canoga Park Elks Lodge with vocalists Bill A. Jones and special guest Lynn Keller Baygan, a passionate big band vocalist, Lynn has performed with ensembles such as The Flight 584 Big Band conductor, John Mitchell, The Woody James Legacy Big Band, and Pat Longo’s Hollywood Big Band. Her father, Art Depew, the legendary trumpet player and conductor of the Harry James Orchestra, introduced her to big band music — a love that has only grown stronger. Together, Lynn and her father recorded Notes From My Father (2015,) a heartfelt collaboration of big band and small combo arrangements. In 2025, Lynn completed a new album, My Man’s An Undertaker (2025.) It’s playful a nod to the darker side of the jazz club. Lynn now carries forward her music legacy with joy and dedication.”
