Hank Jones - Jazz Pianist of Ella Fitzgerald/John Coltrane Fame Dies Age 91


The jazz pianist/composer Hank Jones has died at age 91 at a New York City hospital Sunday night following a brief illness... His 70-year career includes having worked as Ella Fitzgerald's pianist. He also is a footnote in U. S. Presidential history since he was Marilyn Monroe's accompanist when she sang "Happy Birthday" to President John F. Kennedy. Jones won a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009 as well as being a recipient of the National Medal of Arts given to him by President George W. Bush in 2008. Check out all the details here from the Associated Press article.

ADELLE'S - JAZZzology's Jazz Music Venue Of The Month-May 2010


ADELLE'S-JAZZzology's Jazz Music Venue Of The Month-May 2010

Trying to think of a spot in the Chicago southwest suburbs that has a combination of great dining on upscale American chow and offers live jazz? Then check out WDCB Jazz Thursdays at Adelle's of Wheaton in Wheaton, Illinois / DuPage County. The music goes from 7 to 10PM every Thursday eveining and features for the month of May the following line-up of jazz entertainment:

THURSDAY 5/13 ~ Chris Bernhardt Duo
THURSDAY 5/20 ~ Frank Portolese NEW TO ADELLE'S
THURSDAY 5/27 ~ John Avila Duo NEW TO ADELLE'S

As you enter the restaurant to the immediate right is a wonderful little bar tucked in the corner with seating that puts you right in front of the jazz action as the bands usually set up directly across from it. There are a few high-top-style chairs and tables that are also opposite the bar area to allow even more jazz fans to partake of the sounds. The balance of the place has several linen-covered tables but don't let that deter you from coming by wearing jeans. The food features a menu of American offerings. "Originally it was more...comfort food and it's kind of grown and expanded to more contemporary American," said Debbie Williams, co-owner of Adelle's. Click here for their daily menu. Check out their website at Adelles.com for further info.


Adelle's is located at:
