Description

When Bill Dixon takes the stage, he not only wants to entertain you, but to also take you on a trip back in time. Back to a time when men wore coats and ties to dinner and ladies wore evening dresses. A time when dining tables circled a dance floor and the entertainment was for dancing and holding your partner close. Dixon, a Natchez native, incorporates songs from the Great American Songbook as well as Big Band and Jazz Standards. Songs from singers such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, and contemporary artists such as Michael Buble and Diana Krall. These are the songs of the 30's, 40's and 50's that have stood the test of time are still being recorded by many artists today. Dixon commands the stage alone, accompanied by professionally recorded orchestral sound tracks that evoke the original recordings. The audience will be transported back though time listening to Dixon's carefully crafted tributes to the great singers loved by several generations. His love of these timeless standards is evident, and he wins over new audiences to this musical genre through his moving, relevant interpretations of these classic tunes. Audience members will be moved to "jump and jive" if the so desire, or sway with their partner to the sophisticated sounds of some of America's greatest songs. Grab your sweetheart and take a trip back in time on the smooth, swinging sounds of Bill Dixon.
