Barbara Rosene featured on Jazz Inspired
Listen to Barbara interviewed by Judy Carmichael on NPR's Jazz Inspired program.
NEW CD! Barbara Rosene's latest recording, It Was Only A Sun Shower will be released in October. Robert L. Daniels of Variety writes that "Barbara reveals a lyric's plaintive romanticism and lovely melody with a kind of sweet lyrical grace." This is Barbara's fourth CD for Stomp Off Records. It features more lovely tunes from the 1920s and 30s which Barbara hopes to save from obscurity.
Recently Barbara has been touring with The Harry James Big Band led by Fred Radke. They will be visiting cities all over America.
Barbara began her vocal career in Cleveland, Ohio, performing with a dance orchestra. Her passion for 20s and 30s music led her to more fertile territory. She auditioned over the phone for New York's vintage bandleader, Vince Giordano. His band, The Nighthawks, recreate the hot jazz and dance music of Barbara's favorite era. For several years she was Giordano's featured vocalist at traditional music spots such as The Red Blazer Too and The Cajun Restaurant. Society engagements at The Plaza, The Waldorf Astoria and Rainbow Room followed. read more >> |
