Remembering Fred Astaire | Jazzaudehore
In the collective memory, Fred Astaire occupies a special place: he is the hero of timeless musicals and, of course, the very symbol of the dancer who could defy gravity …. He was also very often the first interpreter of essential standards which jazz has seized for our greatest pleasure. After fifteen years on the stage of the Lido, Wendy Lee Taylor, accompanied by musicians that we love, pays homage to the one who was the privileged interpreter of the greatest composers: Gershwin, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen … Let’s Swing ! Wendy Lee Taylor (vocals, tap dance), Philippe Petit (piano), Pierre Maingourd (double bass) & Eric Dervieu (drums)
