Friday Jazz Cafe presents...!

I was thrilled to be in the Cafe last Friday! There were four of us, Lynne Vadala Doran, voice professor at Berklee College of Music, and a friend for over 25 years (and counting); two young wonderful singers, Sayako Abe channeling Sarah Vaughan, and Sofia Almeida doing it right with Betty Carter's 'Social Call.'

I was inspired to listen to one of my Betty Carter albums, and yes, I am learning her version of "Bemsha Swing" by Monk; and, yes, I am adding all of the songs to my repertoire that are not included already.

So looking forward to the next Friday Evening Jazz Cafe presents...!
