Local Jazz Legend Jon Hendricks to Perform at Spring Fling
Local Jazz Legend Jon Hedricks to Perform at Spring Fling Senior Day Event on May 15th
Toledo, OH - A 90 year old jazz legend who calls Toledo home will perform at the Area Office on Aging’s Spring Fling Senior Day event at the Sylvania Tam-o-Shanter, 7060 Sylvania Ave. on May 15th. The Welcoming Ceremony will take place at noon on the main stage with several local public officials attending.
The free event goes from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., with Hendricks performing around noon. As a teenager, Hendricks sang regularly on the radio with another Toledo native, pianist Art Tatum. He is considered one of the best practitioners of scat singing, which involves vocal jazz soloing.
Over 83 year career, his sold-out club performances have drawn fans such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Hendricks is believed to be the oldest living active jazz performer.
In addition to hearing Hendricks perform, those who come to the Spring Fling Senior Day event can get information from about 100 exhibitors offering products and services to seniors. There will also be demonstrations on topics such as wood carving, floral arranging, painting and fishing.
Those wishing to eat at the event may purchase lunch tickets for $2.50 at the Area Office on Aging and area senior centers.
