Parton has performed with the Chicago Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, Chicagoland Pops Orchestra, Doc Severinson, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra Jr., Mel Torme, Beach Boys, Christopher Cross, Sheena Easton, Peabo Bryson, Celine Dion, Nick Carter, Yolanda Adams, Josh Groban, Enrique Eglasius, Natalie Cole and Maynard Ferguson to name only a few. Parton has traveled with Natalie Cole and most recently been a featured member of the Music Now series offered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra."
I owe a big thanks to the folks at Metropolis Performing Arts Center in Arlington Heights who were able to work with me in coaxing Rob to come out to class and talk to us about jazz and jazz history as part of this Google Earth project. I'm also hoping the kids enjoy hearing Rob play. I'm sure the kids will love it! I'm attempting to show this live here, so check back around 11:50am CST!
