BILL HENDERSON LIVE AT THE KENNEDY CENTER is Henderson’s first solo
release in over 20 years. And to celebrate his 80th birthday year,
Henderson truly delivers in this special live recording from The
Terrace Theater at the Kennedy Center. Backed by the Ed Vodicka Trio in
2004, Henderson entertained and treated his SRO crowds to one of his
greatest musical performances, a first class tour of the American
songbook. He wows his audience with the pure resonance of his voice and
his familiar stylings of such signature songs as “I Thought
About You,” “My Ship,” “That
Old Black Magic,” and Billy Strayhorn’s “My Little
Brown Book,” and “A Flower is a Lovesome Thing,”
among others.
Also known to film and television audiences
worldwide, Henderson has appeared in featured roles in City
Slickers, Lethal Weapon 4, ER, and Cold
Case, among many others.

“Bill is too much of a well-kept secret
in the world of jazz
and he is being re-discovered for the world to see.
Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Billy Eckstine, and
Johnny Hartman also come to mind as
his contemporaries.” |
