The Fab Faux plays 'The TV Performances'

Jerry played as part of the Hogshead Horns which is the rhythm section of The Fab Faux. The theme of this performance was the Beatles' TV appearances, beginning of course, with their appearances on the Ed Sullivan show in February of 1964.

Jerry took on producing duties for a new album by his very talented daughter, Donna, who has had a fine career in the theatre. Most recently, she played Elphaba on the first national tour of Wicked. She has also appeared on Broadway in Hairspray, Saturday Night Fever and the original Broadcast cast of Les Misérables as Young Cosette in 1987-88.

In addition to Donna (vocals) and Jerry (reeds and production), the CD features Mitch Forman (piano & arrangements), Kevin Axt (bass) and Ray Brinker (drums). The album is also available on iTunes and Amazon. (posted 11/1/2013, updated 12/9/2013)

Jennifer Grey, who recently was a Dancing With The Stars winner, was the star of Dirty Dancing and later had her nose "fixed" and became unrecognizable. She then was a member of the ensemble cast of the short-lived TV comedy "It's Like, You Know..." where she played an actress named Jennifer Grey who got a nose job and became unrecognizable. Her father, Joel Grey, was in the original stage and movie versions of Cabaret and her grandfather was a comedian named Mickey Katz. In this clip from the old Conan show, Jennifer sings one of her grandfather's novelty songs, a Jewish reworking of the theme from Davy Crockett, called "Duvid Crockett", with Jerry featured on clarinet.

What's the story with Sarah Palin and Jerry Vivino????

What's going on between Jerry and Sarah Palin? Is Sarah going to be the new vocalist for the Tonight Show Band? Is she going to join the Jerry Vivino Quartet? And why does Mike Merritt look so surprised? And why does James Wormworth look so happy?
