Touching base with Peggy

No review here, tho' I'd very much love to hear the group. Jeff Bowell here, Peggy, NOHS '70. I remember you from the NOHS band - in fact, you were the first baritone sax player ever I'd met. Glad to hear that things are going well for you, and my best wishes to your folks, too. (Your dad once did a top-notch repair of a catastrophic trombone injury to a horn of mine due to a marching band mishap.) All best wishes, and "stop by" my e-mail sometime if it suits you. - JTB

Peggy Morris of 2Close is a Superstar!

Peggy is so personable and talented. She rocks the saxaphone and the flute, PLUS she sings! Our audience of people in their 20's, 30's 40's ,50's all the up up to many who were 90 plus and and one 100 year old, all loved her music choices of jazz and r and b.
I would pay any time to see her perform.

About

Peggy Morris

Peggy Morris is a multi-instrumentalist and composer who simply cannot contain her joy on stage and needs to dance a bit too! She moves effortlessly from soulful vocalizations to explosive saxophone and passionate flute solos with a charismatic, unmatched enthusiasm. Peggy has over twenty-five years of professional experience, toured Europe and has released 5 CD's of original music.
Peggy Morris also had the opportunity to learn how to record music over the internet with musicians around the world without ever meeting them in person. She released a solo CD called "Cyber Friends" that was written and collaborated with musicians from Germany, New York, Italy, Argentina, New Jersey and Ohio! Peggy had the honor of finally meeting, playing and touring Germany with one of her collaborators Mathias Claus from Germany.
"As a sax player she's energetic and on the flute, she's positively inspired! This lady's career will be one to watch! "

Pat Close

Pat Close is a professional freelance drummer both studio, and live. Starting at the age of 5 he is still at it 5 decades later. After 10 years of studying all phases of technique, and all styles of drumming he then began teaching. During that time he also became a studio session drummer. There he was able to work with producers, arrangers, and writers thereby mastering the art of playing ''for the music'', and reading charts while playing with tremendous feel. He has done numerous recordings, and television commercials. He has worked with Singer Glenn Leonard of the ''Temptations'', Singer/ dancer/ choreographer ‘’Darcel ‘’ from the famous television show ‘’ Solid Gold ‘’, pianist Manfredo Fest, and Jazz legend trumpeter Marcus Hampton.
Pat Close has been performing club dates, tours, live concerts, and Jazz Festivals with L.A. producer/ guitarist Paul Brown, Peter White, Allon Sams, Euge Groove, The Rippingtons, Ken Navarro, Richard Elliot, Rick Braun, Eric Darius, Greg Adams to name a few while staying busy in studio sessions as well. His work can be heard on the airwaves of Smooth Jazz radio stations nationwide, and abroad on compilation disks with keyboardist Allon Sams featuring guitarist Peter White, and vocalist Richard Jackson. Pat also had the honor of opening the 25th Anniversary of the world famous ''Clearwater Jazz Holiday''. In 2006 Pat was touring Europe that included Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Egypt performing shows for our U.S. military. As you listen to his promo CD, and or watch him on live DVD you can’t deny his great sense of groove, and feel for ''all the styles of music'' that he is playing. He can be powerful yet subtle, and so musical, but dynamic at the same time. Pat Close is available for touring, teaching, and studio situations.
