Jazz Axecelebration presents...
A SALUTE TO THE LEGENDS featuring the music of
Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and more
Bob Harris has recorded and toured as a singer with Frank Zappa, Warren Zevon, and Axe-- remember "Rock & Roll Party in the Street" ? -- maybe you're too young. He's also recorded with Steve Vai, Jock Bartley of Firefall and Edge of Forever, a hard rock band based in Milan, Italy.
Locally he gigs with the U4X, (see flyer for November). All these years of playing rock -- but what he's always wanted to do is "danceable jazz"-- well, now he's doing it. Billed as "a salute to Tony Bennett, Steve Tyrell, Etta James and others" he is not going to try to look like Tony, Steve, or Etta -- that last one would be very difficult, but you will hear the unmistakable influence these performers have had on him to help give him his own unique style and sound.
Disclaimer: Doing a lot of Tony Bennett's music, there will be a fair number of ballads which means a lot of "upclose time" on the dancefloor with your special one -- we are not responsible for what happens when you go home.
Throw in some special guests and musically back everything up with a top-notch trio-- hey, this is gonna be fun.
