About

Claire Daly and her quintet will be performing her "Reinventing Motown," based on her new album "2648 West Grand Boulevard." The New York native and Berklee College of Music graduate won "DownBeat" magazine's Critics' Poll for Talent Deserving Wider Recognition six years running. Her 1999 album debut "Swing Low" earned her a nomination from the Jazz Journalists Association for Best New Artist, her 2012 album "Baritone Monk," produced by the North Coast Brewing Co. to promote its Brother Thelonious Ale, ended up on the jazz charts for 24 weeks, including 9 in the Top 10. For her Healdsburg show she'll have help from Marcus McLauren on bass, Peter Grant on drums, Steve Hudson on piano, and the Bay Area's own guitar hero John Schott.
