peterintoronto Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 The 85-year-old Rivers is still evolving and currently leads a big-band at Orlando's Disney park. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...ft=1&f=1039 Quote
sidewinder Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Great story - I hope he makes the 'one more international tour' in the next year or so. Inspiring stuff ! Quote
AndrewHill Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Me too. Missed him when he played here in Cleveland six years back. Quote
RDK Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Hard to believe he's playing at Disneyland! Saw him on his 80th birthday at the Jazz Bakery. Quote
medjuck Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Hard to believe he's playing at Disneyland! Saw him on his 80th birthday at the Jazz Bakery. Hey I saw Count Basie at Disneyland! Quote
papsrus Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Hard to believe he's playing at Disneyland! Saw him on his 80th birthday at the Jazz Bakery. I don't think he's actually playing at Disney World, but rather has hired some musicians who work there to play in his band at Orlando clubs -- The Plaza Theater is mentioned in the article. I knew he'd been over in Orlando for some years. He should have picked one of the coasts, but he seems to like it. I really need to get over there to listen to him. Quote
BFrank Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 I heard it on Sunday. That was a great (and surprising) piece. Quote
