The CLUB ALABAM REVUE written and directed by Tu’Nook

Sunday afternoons at 4:PM will never be the same again. From the very first note by the Quintet known as Duane & the Central Ave Players performing an original composition , Calico Blues, to sudden burst of energized persona by the name of “Robby Royale” the so-called MC. however the audience soon learns He’s much more than just a MC. He’s weaves in and out of the parade of musical icons and legends with the skill of a “Village Griot”, adding spicy dialog and acting panache . He then engages the audience, takes them to 1940s Central Avenue jazz scene.
Robby Royale opens the show with a short version “without music” of Louis Jordan’s Choo Choo Boogie then morph’s that into a scatted-version of Yardbird Parker’s riff tune, “Ornithology” back to Choo Choo Boogie & out. Then as if rolling dice he says, ” Let the Good times Roll!! Bringing to the stage a swinging Joe Williams persona singing “Everyday I Have the Blues.” This kicks off a wild and history-rich yet , not preachy and yet, quite entertaining for the novice as well as the “Jazzyphiles” too.
