Rosemary Clooney Room to be dedicated at the Blue Wisp

The Blue Wisp Jazz Club will celebrate what would have been Rosemary Clooney’s 84th birthday on May 23 by renaming its music performance area the “Rosemary Clooney Room.”
The 8:30 p.m. event will be the “official opening” for the club’s new location at Seventh and Race Sts., downtown, said co-owner and artistic director Ed Felson.
Singer Mary Ellen Tanner and the Blue Wisp Big Band, led by drummer John Von Ohlen, that night will salute the iconic vocalist who started her career on WLW-AM in 1945.
Clooney was presented a lifetime achievement Grammy Award in 2002, several months before her death. She was 74.
Ticket price and other information will be released at a later date, Felson said. Information: 513-241-9477,www.thebluewisp.com.
