When Ben Vereen appears with the Spokane Symphony, he says the first half of the show will be part of a new project he's writing, "From B to B," tracing his journey from his childhood in Brooklyn through the world of Broadway. The second half will be his tribute to Sammy Davis Jr, one of the many influences in his performing life. He talked about Sammy Davis Jr., Bob Fosse, Bert Williams, and other influences on his long and active performing life with me last week.
