Second Saturday Jazz ft. Patrick Barnitt

Get ready to swing into your Saturday with an unforgettable afternoon of big band jazz, outrageous energy, and iconic tunes—presented by Angela O’Neill & the Outrageous8, now celebrating 10 years of swingin’!

This month's guest vocalist is Patrick Barnitt, a seasoned performer whose rich, classic style has made him a standout across the Southern California jazz scene. From headlining at Herb Alpert’s Vibrato to appearances at the Mammoth Jazz Festival, Catalina Jazz Club, and Feinstein’s at Vitello’s, Patrick brings a polished, big band sensibility to every stage he graces.

His acclaimed album Sway has received national jazz radio play, and his career highlights include opening for Grammy-winning vocalist Dianne Reeves and performing with renowned orchestras and ensembles throughout the region. A regular at the iconic The Dresden Room, Patrick channels the spirit of classic lounge and swing with effortless charm and sophistication.

Blending timeless standards with a modern edge, Patrick Barnitt delivers a performance steeped in nostalgia, style, and undeniable stage presence — a perfect fit for Second Saturday Jazz.

The Outrageous8 features an all-star lineup of LA’s top musicians, including custom arrangements by Harry Smallenburg and Rocky Davis, and music direction by Sam Morgan, son of touring legend David Morgan (Three Dog Night). From Grammy-winning sidemen to jazz veterans who’ve played with The Rolling Stones, Cher, and the Honeydrippers—this group brings heat, history, and serious chops to the stage.

Angela O’Neill, a UCLA Theater Arts alum and former classical oboist, has produced hundreds of shows with The Outrageous8. A versatile performer, she’s sung jazz, country, and rock, and currently sings with multiple 18-piece big bands. Angela is also the driving force behind Outrageous8 Records, which she launched five years ago, producing six albums for the band and additional projects for bandmates Paul Litteral and Ron Cyger.
