Fred Berry Jazz Orchestra with Vocalist Jamie Davis: Self-Help Longevity Gala June 5, 2010

By virtue of his marvelous baritone, easy swing, and deep blues feeling, Jamie Davis has a secure place in the pantheon of great male vocalists. He’s performed all over the world with the likes of Patti Austin, Tony Bennett, George Benson, Rosemary Clooney, Jimmy Cobb, and Billy Cobham, and for three years beginning in 2000 he traveled and performed extensively as the lead vocalist for the Count Basie Orchestra. For his Monterey Jazz Festival appearance, Davis will be accompanied by a 17-piece big band directed by Fred Berry and features first-call Bay Area players.

This performance is part of the 44th Longevity Gala sponsored by Self-Help for the Elderly. Over 1,200 guests attend the annual Longevity Gala, which benefits our programs in San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Alameda Counties. Since 1966, Self-Help for the Elderly has served the seniors in the Bay Area by providing them with a comprehensive range of social, health, employment and educational services.
