Joe Bourne: Remembering Mr. Cole
Friday, October 21, 2011 – 7:00 pm
Based out of Tucson, Joe Bourne has gained international status as a singer and entertainer. Joe performs a wide range of music genres which include Popular, Jazz, Gospel, and R&B. Joe once lived in Europe and performed for the American and Dutch military and supported acts in concert for The Stylistics, Natalie Cole, The Manhattans, The Pointer Sisters, and Dionne Warwick when they were on their European Tours. He has performed in Scandanavia, Australia, Aruba, Indonesia, Great Britain, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland and has been involved in the making of several radio and TV commercials for Delta Airlines, Coca Cola, and others.
This night, Joe Bourne and his trio, comprised of Sly Slipetsky on piano, Scott Black on bass, and Matt Mitchell on guitar, will perform a special musical tribute to the infamous Nat King Cole. In the 1940s Nat Cole and his trio recorded more than 200 songs. Nat (along with Teddy Wilson and Art Tatum) was the most influential piano player in this era. From the first big hit Straighten Up and Fly Right in 1944 to Mona Lisa in 1950, Nat and his trio, with Oscar Moore on guitar and Wesley Prince or Johnny Miller on bass, created hundreds of swinging and artistic arrangements. Joe Bourne and his trio perform the most popular Nat Cole Trio hits “Straighten Up and Fly Right”, “Mona Lisa”, “Nature Boy”, “Sweet Loraine”, “Ramblin’ Rose, “Route 66″, and many more, accompanied with an entertaining narration.
