Cheryl Fisher Sextet
Location
Arts Garage
Description
The award-winning jazz vocalist is one of those rare artists who, as soon as she begins to sing, transforms the room and turns a chatty crowd into a rapt audience. Fisher’s sextet features award-winning woodwind artist and celebrated saxophonist Eric Allison, who returns from abroad for this special per-formance. This concert celebrates Fisher’s latest CD release, with beautiful, rarely heard songs from the Great American Songbook, interpreted through Cheryl’s musicianship and delivered with a fresh and modern approach.
'Cheryl is an exotic bird, perhaps the closest female singer yet to a mellow trumpet, and has a feeling for rhythm few singers share...It's the same kind of excitement that Miles created with the most ordinary of tunes..” - Bill Somers, Jazz Notes
