ERNIE ANDREWS 81ST BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
He is in essence, the last of those true jazz singers from an era where a swagger in one's persona was the way of the times in a man's world. Today, the swagger is as desirable as ever, but the mainstream media has redirected teens and the masses to other genres of music. Nonetheless, jazz has withstood the test of time, and has survived the worst of times.
Ernie Andrews has a style of swing that goes back to a time when gentlemen were just that and ladies adored their men. Andrews carries an air of class that is rarely seen today. His saucy style, presence and general manner reflect his debonaire personality and life experience. In short, he is a well-seasoned entertainer who is a consummate professional. His work ethic and personal commitment is parallel to such jazz greats as Billy Eckstine, Walter Brown, Kenny Burrell, and Duke Ellington. Andrews, like many, praises Ellington for his enormous contribution to the world of music and jazz. You can hear the love and respect Andrews has for Duke when he performs the Ellington Tribute Medley: Satin Doll / I Got It Bad / Take The A Train. He brings these Ellington tunes to life like no other and you know if Duke were here, he'd be smiling from ear to ear!
