CLARKSVILLE, TN − This fall, the Cumberland Winds Jazz Project is recreating an old-time radio show from the 1940s in a nod to yesteryear.
Traditional big band music will combine with radio skits and vintage advertisements at the Cumberland Winds Jazz Project: 1940s Radio Days at the Roxy Regional Theatre on Saturday, November 23, at 7:00pm and Sunday, November 24, at 2:00pm.
In the intimate setting of Clarksville’s oldest professional theatre, The Jazz Project will present music from the popular big bands of the 1940s, including Glenn Miller, Les Brown, Stan Kenton, Gene Krupa, and Count Basie. The evenings’ featured vocalist will be Sarah Queen singing such all-time favorites such as “I’ve Got a Crush on You,” “Bei Mir Bist du Schön,” “You’re Getting to Be a Habit,” and “Day In, Day Out.” The ‘1940s Radio Days’ will also feature alto saxophonist Earl Corrothers, performing “Stella by Starlight,” and local performer David Graham as the radio announcer.
