It Swings

Jazz/blues song stylist Catherine Russell showed, Friday night at the Narrows, how it was when jazz and blues were the same, and her dad, Luis Russell, was working with Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong in the 1920s and '30s.

Dinah Washington, Fats Waller--and even Sam Cooke's younger brother L.C. Cooke were on the agenda.

Catherine's tasty back-up of keys, stand-up and electric guitar with even a bit of banjo was stellar support.
