| New Bob Dorough CD "Duets" Bob Dorough Duets features eleven Dorough compositions with Bob singing each one with a different and remarkable artist. Mr. Dorough, who will turn 90 at the end of 2013, shows no signs of slowing down, and his energy is apparent on every song. The CD is a fundraising project for COTA*, the Celebration of The Arts Jazz Festival (cotajazz.org) which holds it's 36th festival this year in the Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania. The festival also sponsors a jazz camp (campjazz.org) and youth big band, The COTA CATS, helping to foster young talent and keep jazz growing into the future. The cd can only be purchased directly from the website www.BobDoroughDuets.com because every single dollar goes to this wonderful organization! Bob sings with the New York Voices, Nellie McKay, JD Walter, Heather Masse, Janis Siegel, Grace Kelly and others, on Devil May Care, I'm Hip, Comin' Home Baby, and more. The recording also features Phil Woods, David Liebman, Phil Markowitz and many other musicians from the COTA community. *COTA's mission is "to present and support the art of jazz in all its forms and historical breadth, and to support and cultivate interest in art through youth education, performing arts presentations, scholarship opportunities, and community outreach throughout the Pocono area." write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Jazz News :: home page |
