Charlene Cochran & Fifth Avenue
A.K.A., the Fifth Avenue Band
Vocalist Charlene and I teamed up in 1980 to form a jazz / pop, variety lounge group. Wanting to portray a classy, sophisticated image, we chose the name Fifth Avenue, after the street in New York city. As the lounge scene started to peter-out, we morphed the group into a jazz / variety wedding band. Over the ensuing 30 years, we played all kinds of gigs.
The photos here are more archival then anything else.
