James Tormé, the son of 3-time Grammy Award Winning jazz legend Mel Tormé, grew up in the presence of Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Buddy Rich, and other great vocal artists. What an amazing childhood he must have had!
The Gold Canyon Arts Council wants to share that with its supporters.
On Friday, Feb. 10, at 7:30 p.m., the Gold Canyon Arts Council will present James Tormé: Celebrate The Greats!
Please join us for an unforgettable evening as he celebrates music’s greatest legends.
Tormé calls his music the “New American Songbook”, which explores all corners of popular music, infusing older classics with contemporary influences, and haunting newer songs with timeless throwback renditions. On stage, Tormé mixes the showmanship of his father’s generation with the youthful charisma of a contemporary Hollywood star.
Verve Recording’s President said “Torme’ is the best male jazz singer to come along in 20 years.” The London Jazz News praised Tormé as “an extraordinary singer with immense resources and phrasing that is audacious and brilliant.”
