Richie's House of Jazz
On March 10 at 7:30 pm the C.L. Hoover Opera House will feature the new production from the creative minds at Five by Design--Richie's House of Jazz with Richie Cole. Set in the format of a radio broadcast, the production touches upon Cole's forty year career in the music industry. Richie's House of Jazz runs the gamut from television's I Love Lucy theme and Johnny Carson's theme from The Tonight Show to hits such as Night and Day, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy and Flying Home. Five by Design also provides listeners with a peek inside the Rogue and Jar, the Washington D.C. club where Cole was inspired to pen the classic Harold's House of Jazz.

 

The Minnesota based Five by Design is a nationally acclaimed vocal quintet that has been performing together for more than fifteen years. Richie Cole's musical career has spanned four decades and has included touring with Buddy Rich and playing with Doc Severinsen's Tonight Show Band. Five by Design and Richie Cole are feeling the beat and keeping things swingin' in Richie's House of Jazz.
