Bobbe
Norris is a brilliant singer who applies her dusky contralto to
carefully chosen songs, some quite obscure. Longtime fan Rex Reed
has written that "she reaches into a lyric like she's pulling
taffy and brings out the sweetness and rich flavor of each song,
discarding anything superfluous or sticky."
Larry
Dunlap is an extraordinary pianist and arranger, a player with taste
and sophistication. He has been praised as a "remarkable and
versatile accompanist" and "one of the best jazz pianists
around -- anywhere" in the pages of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Besides his ongoing career with Bobbe, Larry has served since 1983
as pianist for the British diva Cleo Laine and has performed an/or
recorded with such luminaries as Mark Murphy, Joe Williams and Sheila
Jordan as well as jazz instrumentalists Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer,
and Marc Johnson, to name a few.
As
their numerous recordings and appearances at such venues as the
Monterey and San Francisco jazz festivals have shown, together Bobbe
Norris and Larry Dunlap offer a classy show of great music in their
own style, infusing each song with romantic elegance and creative
fire.
