Paul Keller and Friends present Remembering Mr. and Mrs. Swing: Xylophonists/marimbist/vibraphonist Red Norvo and vocalist Mildred Bailey. Red Norvo (Kenneth Norville) was an innovative pioneer of early jazz music. His explorations into the use of the xylophone, marimba, and vibraphone were ground-breaking and delightful. Not long after he joined the Paul Whiteman band in 193, Norvo developed a relationship with Whiteman's jazz vocalist Mildred Bailey. Norvo and Bailey were wed iin 1931 and went on to perform and record together for over a decade. During the hey-days of the Swing Era, Red Norvo and Mildred Bailey were dubbed "Mr. and Mrs. Swing." In his long and impressive career, Norvo also made excellent recordings with a myriad of jazz super-stars including Charlie Parker, Benny Goodman, Charles Mingus, and Frank Sinatra. Red Norvo died in 1999 at the age of 91. Mildred Bailey was the first great, white female jazz singer. Influenced by the stylings of Ethel Waters, Connie Boswell, and Bessie Smith, she developed a uniquely soft yet swinging delivery that delighted nightclub audiences wherever she appeared throughout the United States. Although she is perhaps best remembered for her work in jazz, Bailey enjoyed a good deal of success in popular music as well. Although she appeared with some of the most successful bands of the Swing Era, she ended her career as a solo performer, drawing thousands of appreciative fans to her appearances at some of New York City's most popular jazz clubs. Mildred Bailey died in 1951 at the far too young age of 44. In addition to string bassist Paul Keller, vibraphonist Cary Kocher will play the role or Red Norvo. Vocalist Judie Cochill will sing the part of Mildred Bailey. The band will also include trumpeter Mark Byerly, trombonist Terry Kimura, Saxophonist Keith Kaminski, pianist Cliff Monear, and drummer Scott Kretzer. $8 suggested donation. Please call Cathy at Steinway Piano Gallery for reservations 248.560.9200 or email RSVP to: cloudon@steinwaydetroit.com.
