WHEN YOU SWING UPON A STAR Roy Gerson Plays the Disney Songbook
There's only one place where the magical innocence of the Disney Songbook comes together with the swinging sophistication of a jazz master: Iridium hosts the debut of a new show that will appeal to everyone from connoisseurs of jazz to the youngest fans of the latest Disney DVD. Roy Gerson leads his orchestra through a parade of hits and memories from the Mouse Factory including classics like “I Got No Strings, “Chim Chim Cheree" and “When You Wish Upon a Star" to the newest hits from Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Tarzan. When Gerson starts to swing, your dreams come true.

6:00 PM SHOW “I LOVE LOUIE" THE MUSIC OF ARMSTRONG, JORDAN AND PRIMA. A RESPECTFUL TRIBUTE TO THREE MUSICAL INNOVATORS AND HOW THEIR CAREERS (DRAWN FROM ARMSTRONG) SHAPED MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
I LOVE LOUIE Armstrong * Prima * Jordan
Three music titans. Three fantastic repertoires. Three outrageous personalities. Roy Gerson pays affectionate tribute to the three musical giants who transformed the sound of the twentieth century: Louis Armstong, Louis Prima, and Louis Jordan. From the roots of jazz in New Orleans, through the hot spots of Las Vegas, to the formation of R&B and rock 'n' roll, the three Louies made every kind of sound and Gerson hosts the music of these entertainers with the eight-cylinder drive they deserve. Songs include: “Struttin' with Some Barbecue," “Choo-Choo-Ch-Boogie," “Sing, Sing, Sing" and other medleys from these manic masters.
