The Service High School jazz band hosted some special guests on Friday in Anchorage. Five members of the swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy showed up to jam — and offer a few pointers — with the 9 a.m. jazz band class. It was a warm up for a performance Big Bad Voodoo Daddy had over the weekend at the Atwood Concert Hall in downtown Anchorage.
