L.A.: ANNETTE WARREN & PAUL SMITH AT CATALINA B & G
Annette Warren, cabaret and recording star best remembered for dubbing Ava Gardner's vocals in the 1951 film version of "Show Boat," will make a rare Hollywood appearance with her husband, legendary jazz pianist Paul Smith, at CATALINA BAR & GRILL (6725 West Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA - 323-466-2210 ) on Wednesday, April 14th at 8:00 pm. They will debut a new show entitled "A Marriage of Music and Mirth," commemorating their more than 50 years together. Warren, with a long history of TV and radio appearances, has performed in the country's top clubs and played Mrs. Peachum in the original off-Broadway production of "Threepenny Opera" with Jerry Orbach, Bea Arthur and Ed Asner. In the 1951 MGM production of "Show Boat," she sang "Bill" and "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" for star Ava Gardner and also dubbed the singing voice for Lucille Ball in the films "Fancy Pants," and "Sorrowful Jones," both co-starring Bob Hope. Smith, whose technique has been ranked with that of Oscar Peterson, played with Les Paul and Tommy Dorsey in the 1940's and has recorded with Dizzy Gillespie, Anita O'Day, Buddy DeFranco, Louis Bellson, Steve Allen, Stan Kenton and others and toured with Ella Fitzgerald for more than 20 years. Appearing with Warren and Smith will be Jim DiJulio on bass and Alex Smith (their grandson) on drums. Call for cover/minimum information.
