SUMMARY:Vicki Mayo and George Turner Play Romantic Jazz Standards
DESCRIPTION:The Western Illinois Museum welcomes musicians Vicki Mayo and George Turner\, and historian \n\n\n\nSterling Kernek for a program that explores the Great American Song Book on Friday\, August 18th. \n\n\nDoors open at 4:30 and the program begins at 5:00 pm.  Cash bar will be provided by Hy-Vee Catering. \n\n\nThe event will be held at the Western Illinois Museum\, located at 201 South Lafayette Street\, one \n\n\nblock south of Macomb’s historic Courthouse Square.  There is a $5 suggested donation at the door to \n\n\nbenefit the museum’s programs. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe program is designed to transport listeners back to a “golden age” of jazz standards traveling from \n\n\nthe early 1920s and the late 1950s.  Historical commentary will point out influences on that music and \n\n\nhighlight reasons for the lasting appeal of these well-loved songs.  The expressive vocals of Mayo \n\n\ncomplimented by Turner’s well-honed and thoughtful guitar playing\, will give a new appreciation of \n\n\nthese favorites.  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nFor more information contact the Western Illinois Museum at 309.837.2750 or info@wimuseum.org.  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAbout Vicki Mayo \n\n\n\n\nAlthough Vicki Mayo was formally trained to sing in operas\, her favorite genre is jazz.
