1st Annual Jazz Appreciation Month Celebration - Catherine Russell

Cat Flier

WAER hosts Catherine Russell, acclaimed Blues and Jazz singer, in a community wide concert celebrating Jazz Appreciation Month. Russell is a legacy of Louis Armstrong's band member, Luis Russell.

The Washington Post's Bill Friskics-Warren claimed that "while the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Bessie Smith might have recorded the classic versions of the songs...Russell has earned the right to sing them too." Made possible with funding from AmeriCU Services, LLC and the Cultural Resources Council.
