Leeana G Nice seeing you again at the APAP convention. The Count Basie Theater internship sounds like a great fit! Talk to you soon.
Carlos R The music feeds are a great addition! Doug D Vickie,
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your performance today at
the Central Presbyterian Church in Summit. It really brightened up the
afternoon. I know the after performance time is very busy so I thought
it best to send you this email with feedback instead of taking your time
after the show. I love the way you create the show concepts like Satin
Dolls. It is a great way to package the music into a cohesive program.
You also give people some background about the music you are singing. I
think that really helps put things into context. Especially since this
is music that most of your audience did not grow up with. Your audience
learns about what they are hearing as well as enjoys the music. Your
singing was great. Inventive, melodic, authentic, passionate and
involving. I think that everyone can see how much you enjoy the music. I
know you brought a lot of happiness to the people there today. The band
sounded terrific. The Duke Ellington
stuff really shined. It is a good mix with your style and your range.
One of my favorites of the afternoon was the "doodling" song.
Really interesting lyrics. I think that you have a very natural way with
audiences. You are relaxed and your warmth and your comments help the
audience to feel relaxed as well.
Cynthia Margolis I loved your show at the Country Club. I hope to be able to book you and your group soon for our summer concert series. I know our members will love the music and the way you interact with audiences. It was a great show. Thank you.

crizella lescouarnec 24 July 2003 You look like you are having so much fun. I'm glad you did a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. I did enjoy your show. I brought my two youngest boys with me. I try to expose them to jazz as much as possible. That's what my Grandfather did for me. I first met Count Basie when I was about seven years old. He was a friend of my Grandpa's as was Ella. I never met Ella though. My grandpa was raised by Bill Bojangels Robinson from the age of fourteen up and by hanging out at the Cotton Club he became friends with Dizzy and Nat and Lena, Cab Calloway and many others. He used to travel with Nat King Cole and they were very close. You said that your Grandparents introduced you to this music too. Grandparents are wonderful people. |

good performer. This goes further than someone just belting it out, be it
great, along with a great band. Keep up your great work! Rob Natoli |
