A very professional presentation with a perfect command of the music. A beautiful vocal sound with perfect intonation and great rhythm. All in an attractive and well-groomed package!
The band is smoking hot--and I am a member of it. We work as a unit and it shows!
We always arrive in plenty of time to set up and settle in. We are self-contained with equipment and very experienced.
I started singing professionally at the age of 17 with a "show group" called Chang Lee and the Zaniacs. I joined Jerry Mitchell and the Impacts: working and learning from many jazz greats; including Roland Hanna, Gus Johnson, Danny Gibson and my friend, Miss Rhapsody. Next came the Joe Zarr trio with the late Al Ross on organ and Warren Battiste on guitar. Also at this time I worked with two other groups: The Traces and the Gary Kay Trio. At Kean University I was the featured vocalist with the Big Band Workshop and a member of the Woodwind Choir. I recorded on an album entitled Danny & Friends and became the vocalist with the Bob Ackerman Group--through whom I met my late husband, Gerry LaFurn. Gerry played lead trumpet with Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich,Charlie Barnet & Jimmy Dorsey. I learned a great deal about music and life from Gerry. Formally, I was a Flute major at Kean College and studied privately both flute and voice.
