Friends
of the Loew’s is
proud to present a
buffet reception, which will be followed
by a stage show recalling the fun and
glamour of the vaudeville era.
Vince
Giordano & The Nighthawks –
Booked for black-tie galas at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the New York Public Library
and the Waldorf Astoria, Vince Giordano
& The Nighthawks have become the most
sought-after jazz band in New York City.
They have performed at the Smithsonian,
Carnegie Hall, the JVC Jazz Festival and
Lincoln Center, and appear regularly at
the Rainbow Room, the Carlyle Hotel, "21,"
and the Copacabana. The band's reputation
for musical excellence has also caught
the attention of Hollywood. In 2004, Vince
and The Nighthawks were featured in a
nightclub scene in Martin Scorsese's The
Aviator. With loving precision, Vince
Giordano & The Nighthawks re-create
authentic arrangements, transporting the
audience back in time to the Golden Age
of Jazz.
"Uncle
Floyd" Vivino – Inspired
by song-and-dance vaudeville performers
from a bygone era, Floyd Vivino has crafted
a signature mix of comedy and music that
pays affectionate homage his home state
of New Jersey and his proud Italian-American
heritage. Born in Paterson, New Jersey
in 1951, Vivino rose from child performer
to become host of his own television show.
"The Uncle Floyd Show," a mad-cap
take-off on vintage "kiddie shows,"
initially developed an avid local cult
following during the ’70s and ’80s,
and eventually propelled Vivino into the
national spotlight. Adding actor to his
resume, the multi-talented Vivino has
appeared on the big screen in several
notable films and television programs.
His first love, however, is performing
live, which he still does about 300 days
a year, making him everyone's favorite
uncle.
And
because back in the ’30s, Loew's
patrons enjoyed a stage show with a movie,
our Gala will be capped off with a classic
movie short!
