<"b00007lv782999"> About the Artist
Barbara Morrison has performed with a virtual "who's who" of the Jazz and the Blues worlds including legends, Dizzy Gillespie, James Moody, Ron Carter, Etta James, Esther Phillips, David T. Walker, Jimmy Smith, Johnny Otis, Dr. John, Kenny Burrell, Terence Blanchard, Joe Sample, Cedar Walton, Nancy Wilson, Mel Torme, Joe Williams, Tony Bennett, and Keb' Mo (Kevin Moore).

She has been featured on over 20 recordings in almost every genre from traditional Jazz and Blues to Gospel and Pop. Her melodic voice, with its two-and-a-half-octave range, are known worldwide, as are her rich, unique, soulful and highly spirited interpretations of both, familiar Jazz and Blues classics, and original contemporary tunes. Most striking is Ms. Morrison's ability to belt out down-home, soul-stirring Blues. Breathtaking are her impassioned renditions of old and favorite torch songs.The ‘All Star Swing Band’ features Ruth Davies (bass), Danny Caron (guitar), John Haynes (drums), Charles McNeal (tenor saxophone), John R. Burr (keyboard), and Steve Campos (trumpet). Individually, these musicians have played and recorded with artists ranging from John Lee Hooker and Charles Brown to McCoy Tyner. This group of top Bay Area talent came together on May 30, 2002, to back Barbara Morrison for this performance and recording.
