The Swing Tones sound appeals to a tremendous range of ages and a diverse audience, especially with the “swing-ized” arrangement of contemporary pop songs. Presented by Aaron Jacobs Productions, the lively fundraiser benefits the Automobile Driving Museum (ADM) with its vintage car collection in El Segundo, CA; it’s now open after breaking for the COVID lockdown. On-site are also vendor booths specializing in vintage wear and accessories plus local specialty food trucks. The Automobile Driving Museum was founded in 2002 by car collectors Stanley Zimmerman and architect Earl Rubenstein. Its mission is to "collect, preserve, exhibit and ride in historic vehicles." The museum contains about 130 classic, antique, and vintage automobiles created between 1886 and 2000, of which roughly half are on display at any time. Visitors are permitted to touch and sit in most cars, and on Sunday Car Rides, experience driving around in classic vehicles. A portion of ticket price supports the operation of the Automobile Driving Museum (ADM), a 501(c)3 non-profit, and is tax-deductible. The ADM helps support their High School Restoration program with Da Vinci High School in El Segundo, Rides for Warriors program with local VA Hospitals, and scholarships to automotive technology students. Aaron Jacobs Productions: A talent who wears several hats and shoes, singer/dancer/musician/teacher Aaron Jacobs has produced exhilarating musical evenings around the Los Angeles area since 2008 including Live at 11 in West Hollywood, Spotlight Cabaret in Downtown Los Angeles and Swing Dames. He first produced Summer Swing Nights in June 2018 as a way to create an immersive evening with big band music and the audience becoming a part of the show as well. His cast and crew reflect the diversity of Los Angeles. The Swing Tone and the big band are also available for special events. Los Angeles Swing Dance Posse (LASDP) The Los Angeles Swing Dance Posse is a nonprofit organization formed to honor contributions of African-Americans to vernacular jazz dance through performance and education. LASDP teaches the history of those styles from the 1800s to the present. This provides the opportunity to fill in knowledge gaps of Swing dance history, a history that has deep roots in Black culture. The mission is to educate, preserve, promote, teach and perform the vernacular jazz dances.
