Jimmy Cavallo is an American musician best known for performing with his band in the 1956 movie, Rock, Rock, Rock by pioneering music DJ Alan Freed. Jimmy and the Houserockers was the first all white band to play at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. Before Elvis Presley’s sunrise and before Bill Haley soared like a Comet, Jimmy Cavallo rocked the house nightly along the East Coast. Treading territory unexplored by white musicians of his era, the young tenor saxman plunged headfirst into R&B. Jimmy is still Rockin’! This is a show you do not want to miss!
