About
Join vocalist Ellen Robinson and her outstanding duo as she performs songs from her latest CD “Don’t Wait Too Long” given 3 ½ stars by DOWNBEAT. She will also present new tunes yet to be recorded.
“She has a wonderful clear voice and a jazz feeling all the way.” ~ Marian McPartland
Exploring a program laden with unexpected treasures, Ellen’s repertoire includes a wide range of first-rate jazz standards, modern pop, folk tunes, blues and original songs. She delivers loads of presence and yet sings with a deceptively unadorned style, eschewing vocal acrobatics and scat solos in favor of close attention to sinuous melodies and emotionally insightful phrasing.
