Experience the jazz vocal artistry and trademark sounds of Jeri Brown at this rare performance at the Jazzschool. Together, Jeri Brown and pianist Woody Woods carve an exceptional treatment of ‘standards’ and originals, exploring soulful communication between the voice and piano with an imaginative spirit in her premiere appearance. Favorites from Canadian songwriters Anne Murray, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Buffy St. Marie along with classic standards from the great American songbook are featured in this inventive and soulful improvisational rendering. “The collaboration on my latest CD release ECHOES: Live at Catalina Jazz Club…Los Angeles gave me a chance to re-frame some of my favorite standards tunes. I love these ‘feel good’ songs. Hanging out musically with Mr. Woods gave me a totally different inspiration for interpreting these gems. Each song tells such a beautiful story.” Performance repertoire highlights: Until It’s Time For You To Go, Both Sides Now, Hallelujah, You Needed Me, Afro Blue, I’ve Got Rhythm, Echoes, I Thought About You, & No Moon At All. The evening will feature Woody Woods on piano....
