His instantly recognizable voice is associated with iconic versions of Unforgettable, Route 66, and The Christmas Song.
Featuring guest vocalist Cleveland P. Jones.
The Jazz Legacy Project Series
What is it?
Each program is roughly 90 minutes, with the goal of bringing the casual jazz listener inside the minds and music of the most influential and interesting American musicians of all time. These are NOT tribute concerts in the sense that the musicians are trying to recreate the original performances, but instead to celebrate the essence and accomplishments of the particular artist.
