Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 1:00pm Perennial Bendheim favorites, singers Wendy Kimball and Sean Mahony, accompanied by the Mark Toback trio, pay tribute to that most wonderful era of popular music: the Big Band Era. The female singers of the day featured Rosemary Clooney, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Helen O’Connell. Male singers included Dick Haymes, Billy Eckstine, Bob Eberle, Perry Como and Frank Sinatra. This was a unique period in the history of music. Jazz critic Gary Giddins said: “During the big band era, popular music was good and good music was popular.” Karen Lynn Gorney will narrate.
