Fred Berry Big Band with Vocalist Jamie Davis June 15, 2008

Generating the big sounds of the Basie/Ellington/Bellson tradition, Fred Berry combines his 18 piece top-flight big band with the silky smooth vocals of Jamie Davis. Now that’s entertainment!

Director Fred Berry, professional trumpet player and jazz educator, has resided in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1966, teaching at the College of San Mateo and working as a freelance performer. He is also Director of the Jazz Ensemble at Stanford University.

A star in Europe and Clint Eastwood's favorite jazz singer, baritone singer Jamie Davis is a member of the Count Basie Orchestra, the big band that is carrying on the legacy of the deceased bandleader who defined the 1940’s Kansas City swing style. Jamie is gifted with a smooth and buttery tone.

This concert is presented as part of the heralded "Jazz at Filoli" concert series at the famous historical Filoli estate and gardens.
