Jimmy Mulidore's memoir, “The Vegas Player,” offers an insider's look at one of the most extraordinary careers in American music. As musical director for the Hilton and Flamingo Hotels, Mulidore conducted for legendary performers including Louis Armstrong, Ann-Margret, Gladys Knight, and Olivia Newton-John. A master of the saxophone, flute, clarinet, bassoon, and English horn, his artistry and versatility made him a defining figure of Las Vegas entertainment.
This captivating book traces Mulidore's rise from a poor Italian neighborhood in Youngstown, Ohio, to the spotlight of Las Vegas, where he played alongside icons like Sinatra, Streisand, and Elvis Presley. Readers are taken backstage to the highs and lows of the city's vibrant but volatile music scene of the 1950s–1970s, where glitz, gangsters, and genius converged. The memoir also includes an exclusive DVD featuring some of Mulidore's finest performances, making it both a written and musical celebration of his life.
Mulidore wrote The Vegas Player not only to preserve his story, but also to share the lessons of resilience, passion, and artistry that carried him through decades of triumphs and challenges. A lifelong musician who studied at Juilliard, performed with greats like Red Norvo and Nat King Cole, and even contributed a celebrated flute solo on Elvis Presley's American Trilogy, Mulidore remains a true maestro whose legacy continues to inspire.
One reviewer praised the book: “An amazing story of triumph from humble steel town beginnings to the heights of the musical world. As director, conductor, and master musician, Jimmy Mulidore is an extraordinary, versatile talent whose life story has been nothing short of miraculous. Bravo maestro!”
“The Vegas Player” motivates readers to witness the extraordinary journey of a man whose music defined an era and whose life was every bit as unforgettable as the stars he performed with. A fascinating and entertaining read, this book is now available for purchase through Amazon and other major online book retailers.
