Don Hill Saxophonist & singer with The Treniers, who are unquestionably one of the first (if not the first), self-contained REAL ROCK AND ROLL groups, ever. They are also probably the greatest living entertainers in showbiz today. Among some very gifted peers, they stand out as the only pioneering Jump Blues stylists to not only thrive when the rest of the world caught up with this Rock'n'Roll stuff (some ten years after they started it) but also to continue to thrive in the ensuing decades as a successful, and far from sedate, lounge act. The group has survived the ever-changing cycle of disposable pop culture trends thrown their way not in spite of their resistance to change, but because of it. By upholding traditions thought long gone by many, and by keeping it lively, The Treniers' performances are just as vital and hypnotizing today as they were in the era when they helped to create Rock'n'Roll. I'd like to think that they've been having too much fun to fully realize this.

The Treniers

DeCastro Sisters Peggy and Cherie -- call themselves the "Cuban bombshells," and are still living up to that name on the stage. The DeCastro Sisters were originally a trio with Babette, their youngest sister, who passed away in 1993. Olgita DeCastro Marino, a cousin, filled the onstage gap left by Babette, but she died in 2000. The DeCastros' mother was a former "Ziegfeld Follies" dancer in New York City, and their father owned a sugar cane plantation in the Dominican Republic. Their mother took up opera singing as a hobby and pretty soon her daughters were singing too. They were imitating the Andrews Sisters and hitting Cuban stages before any had turned 14.  They moved to America, where they played such places as New York's Copacabana, appeared in a movie with Carmen Miranda and made it big in 1955 with their one and only hit, "Teach Me Tonight." The song remains their hallmark.

 

Fielding West Where have I seen that guy?  Fielding West has been seen everywhere from the stage to television. He is an award winning comedy magician who is also an actor, game show host, TV personality, motion picture technical director, writer and ...well, we think you get the point.  Much of Fielding's success is due to his humorous and good natured audience involvement.   He is a seasoned pro who adapts his act to any audience.  Fielding can jump off the big stage in a Vegas show to a smaller corporate audience with out a hitch.

It's no mystery why in a town full of entertainers Fielding West can be seen everywhere!

Freddie Bell and The Bell Boys, a rock combo formed closely on the heels of Bill Haley & His Comets, appeared with Haley, Allen Freed, The Platters, Tony Martinez & His Band, and Johnny Johnston in the 1956 film Rock Around The Clock. That, the fact they were the FIRST such North American group to appear in the U.K., touring with Tommy Steele in 1956, and actually arranged Elvis' mega-hit Hound Dog, are their main claims to fame. Led by vocalist Bell, the group included Russ Contic on piano, Chick Keeney on drums, Frank Brent on bass, Jerry Mayo on trumpet, and Jack Kane on sax.
They  reached  # 4 in the U.K. on the Pye label with Giddy Up A Ding Dong in 1956.

John & Pam Thompson , The Great Tomsoni & Co. tackle the audience with magic hokum-pokum. Tomsoni, who delivers his spoken accents in fake Polish, comes clean with mostly pantomime as tricks work to his surprise. His company is wife Pamela, and both have been presenting one of the funniest magic acts for years. .  Tomsoni does manage to mystify between his quirky mannerisms, producing numerous white doves fluttering from scarves and even out of a clear plastic square. Partner Pamela, meanwhile, supplies him with gadgets as the dumb, putupon, blond, gum-chewing assistant. She's a perfect foil.
He switches from pantomime to standup comedian, mouthing crazy sound effects within funny phone monolog. The "Babushkas from Warsaw" finale has Thomsoni frantically pulling dozens of knotted scarves from a hollow silver tube, and going on and on until he bunches the material together and - presto - out pops a bowling ball...

Keely Smith The mid-'90s lounge music revival has come and gone, the music of Louis Prima has been used to sell khaki pants, but--strangely enough--vocalist and Prima ex-wife Ms. Smith has remained relatively quiet. Until now. With the appropriately titled Swing, Swing, Swing, Keely proves she still has the perfect timing, pitch, and vocals that she had on those classic collaborations with Prima Smith starts with a lively medley of "When You're Smiling" and "The Sheik of Araby," does Prima favorites "Jump, Jive, An' Wail" and "Robin Hood," and includes plenty of unique numbers she can call her own (just check out "Keely's Boogie"). "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah," "Yata Hei," and the album's title track are some highlights--upbeat numbers where the 17-piece Frankie Capp Orchestra provide the jazzy energy of Keely Smith's old bandleader, Billy May. --Jason Verlinde

In the 1950s and 60s she starred in a number of motion pictures both as herself and in a character role. Much admired for her intelligence personality and sense of humor, over the years, icons such as Walter Cronkite joined the line up of personalities to have their photo taken with her. During her career, she was romantically linked with John T. Kennedy, Elvis Presley, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Vic Damone.  Tempest was, along with Lili St. Cyr and Blaze Starr, one of the most famous burlesque performers of the 1950's and 1960's. She is regarded as having one of the longest careers as a burlesque performer.

Tony Ruivivar is the  original member of the Society of Seven 

that opened at the Outrigger in 1969. They'd come out of Hong Kong as the Fabulous Echoes several years previously and passed through Hawaii on the way to Las Vegas, the Ed Sullivan Show, and guest spots on the other national television musical variety shows of the era. The Fabulous Echoes were popular in Hawaii as well when they became the Society Of Seven shortly before opening at the Outrigger. Ruivivar says one secret to the group's longevity is "hard work and enjoying what you're doing." He adds it's also important to selectively incorporate new ideas without losing the original essence of the act. Advances in synthesizers, sequencers, sound gear and lighting allow the SOS to do things that weren't possible in 1969.

Tony Curtis The man behind the mask of one hundred and fifty different roles, spanning over fifty years, now reveals himself to be Tony Curtis, fine artist. Tony Curtis’ incredible skill and versatility in the performing arts, is matched by his innate ability to create great beauty in fine art, reflecting the rich life of the artist, giving enormous pleasure to the collector...  While his acting career continues unabated today, what happens to his enormous need to create when the cameras are off and the sound stages are silent at the end of the day?  The same questioning and receptive mind that captures the subtle nuances of daily life, and later incorporates them into his film roles, has spent the last several decades storing sights and memories that are now flowering on his vivid, intensely colored canvases, that virtually burst with life.
