There was a great live musical performance by four time Grammy winner Seal. (Photo on left) Seal opened up his portion of the show with: “Stand By Me” – then he did a great rendition of “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” – and he then closed his set with an emotional “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” – to a standing ovation, with people going on to the dance floor in front of the stage to dance and sing along with this legendary artist! It was a really great experience for everyone that was present for this very special show, to raise money for a very worthy cause: The Alzheimer’s Association. This was a great performance considering that Seal had the hard task to follow a great Jazz Legend: Billy Valentine, who also gave an amazing and classic performance at this show! This was an event that people will always remember!

Our Reporter: Tressa Smiley will take you down on the purple carpet to interview the celebrities and those that put on this great event: 
The Tony Guerrero Band (Photo on left) played throughout the show, with the audience enjoying the great experience, and dancing all night to this excellent band! Tony Guerrero is a musician, songwriter, and producer. His career as a jazz trumpeter has spanned more than thirty years beginning with the release of his first CD, Tiara, in 1988. The Tony Guerrero Quintet has been a staple of the Southern California jazz scene for many years. The group’s brilliant original compositions and artful original arrangements of standards from the Great American Songbook have a rare cross-generational appeal and are enjoyed by critics and fans alike. The TGQ’s live performance is an intoxicating blend of solid musicianship, genuine charm and authentic, timeless swagger that is undeniably entertaining and is currently wowing audiences all over North America as a part of the popular “See Jane Sing” tour, starring Emmy Award-winning actress Jane Lynch. Their 2017 album “A Swingin’ Little Christmas” was the #5 Christmas album in America for that year and hit #10 on the Billboard AC Charts. Theatre Mania said: “This five-man band of consummate musicians makes it indisputable: These guys have more business being on a cabaret stage than a lot of the performers currently working in New York City.”

Most of the Celebrities, VIPs, Sponsors, attendees, and donors had a very close loved one in their lives that had this terrible – life ending disease: Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. It causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior, and is a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions. Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important mental functions. Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms. No cure exists, but medications and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms. However, on this show we interviewed celebrities and people involved with The Alzheimer’s Association, that said they are coming very close to a drug treatment that can allow you to live with Alzheimer’s, rather than dying from it! On this show you will learn a lot about this terrible disease, treatment, and how early detection can be a big help!
