What happens when you combine the talents of the Cleveland Orchestra, the 
amazing singing abilities of Ann Hampton Callaway, the theatre knowledge and 
conducting skills of Jack Everly and an absolutely gorgeous evening of weather 
at the Blossom Center?   You get a marvelous evening of music and knowledge.

Ann Hampton Callaway, a Tony award nominee for her performance in ‘SWING!,’ is a 
song stylist, composer, and pianist.  She scats, uses her voice as a musical 
instrument, has a charming personality, and that special quality to mesmerize an 
audience.

Everly explained the backgrounds of many of the Broadway selections and 
conducted the orchestra with skill and verve.

CAPSULE JUDGMENT:  ‘BROADWAY SWINGS’ on August 1 was a special evening at 
Blossom.
