Cherry Hill native Bob Dorough (12 December 1923 - 23 April 2018) was inducted into the Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame in 1998 and briefly profiled under "Hall of Fame: 1998" at arjazz.org. (Longer profiles can be found at encyclopediaofarkansas.net and wikipedia.org. The legendary vocalist/pianist/composer is listed in every standard jazz reference, including The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz. An annotated album titled "Bob Dorough" is posted under "Photos" on the Arkansas Jazz Heritage Foundation's Facebook page.) This video was filmed at the end of his last Arkansas concert (Friday, 19 May 2017 at the Central Arkansas Library System's Ron Robinson Theater in Little Rock). He is accompanied by three other Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame inductees: Joe Vick (2014), Ted Ludwig (2016), Brian Brown (2018).
