DESCRIPTION:Big bands and music played vital roles in Japanese American int
 ernment camps\, whether it was as therapy or as a connection to the Nisei'
 s American identity. Now JAMsj public programs and CATS are joining forces
  to bring you a unique fundraiser exploring these roles through a screenin
 g of the documentary\,<em>&nbsp\;Searchlight Serenade\,&nbsp\;</em>and a Q
 &amp\;A session with the filmmaker and artist Amy Uyeki. Guests will also 
 be treated to a special live performance of WWII era music by the Wesley J
 azz Ensemble.\n\n&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<em>Searchlight Serenade</em><span style="f
 ont-size: 12px\;">&nbsp\;<span style="font-size: 12px\;">gives viewers a f
 irst-hand look at the big bands formed during WWII in the Japanese America
 n Internment camps from 1942 to 1945. You'll hear the stories of 9 musicia
 ns and singers\, including the film's advisor Yoshida (who helped locate t
 he featured band members)\, Joe Shiro\, Yone Fukui\, and Frances (Chickie)
  Ishihara White. KEET-TV and Uyeki bring their stories to life through arc
 hival footage and a 12-minute animation created from Uyeki's original wood
 block prints and drawings. These works of art were inspired by actual even
 ts of some of the musicians and singers she interviewed. The film reminds 
 viewers of the positive impact music and art can have on people during dif
 ficult times.\n\nPlease join us for a Q&amp\;A session after the screening
  with Uyeki. This session will be followed by a live performance from the 
 Wesley Jazz Ensemble\, who will perform classics such as Glenn Miller's "M
 oonlight Serenade\," Duke Ellington's "Take the A Train\," and Ray Charles
 ' "Georgia On My Mind."\nCost: No fee at the door but donations greatly ap
