Tribute To Fats Waller: A light-hearted entertainer and a very serious musician, Thomas ‘Fats’ Waller mastered the stride piano and wrote some of the jazz’s enduring, endearing tunes. Hear ‘Honeysuckle Rose,’ "Ain't Misbehavin” and “A Handful of Keys in the ‘hands’ of pianist Ehud Asherie, vocalist Allen Harris, and guitar master Doug Wamble under the direction of composer, arranger and reedman Andy Farber. Wendell Pierce hosts.
Under the musical direction of composer, arranger, and saxophonist Andy Farber, a cast of musicians will re-animate the theatrical side of the Fats Waller Songbook in a retrospective of his all too short career. Farber notes, ‚Fats appealed to the connoisseur and the layperson with his mastery of the stride piano and pop music.? Entertainer, singer, dancer, and performer Ben Vereen will serve as host and perform. The rhythm section includes pianist Ehud Asherie, bassist Ben Wolfe, guitarist Doug Wamble, and drummer Alvester Garnett. Along with Andy Farber on saxophone, the horn section includes clarinetist and saxophonist Dan Block, and trumpeter John-Erik Kellso. Vocalists Carla Cook and Allan Harris will also perform.
