| Deanna Bogart Band Live and In Person at Jammin Java Music Club  The Maryland-based blues and boogie pianist / saxophonist combines the energy of 1930's style boogie piano blues with contemporary blues sounds emanating from places like New Orleans, Chicago and Memphis. "The goal when we play live, " says Bogart, "is to create a fusion of all these different musical styles with the blues and boogie genuinely at the core." Beyond all the superlatives, The Washington Post may have best described Deanna Bogart with three words: Luster, Sophistication, and Soul. This is a one-of-a-kind artist, whose music veers from the depths of the blues to the playful heights of swing, from the subtleties of jazz to the hard-won grit of soul.She brings to her music everything it means to be a woman?everything it means to be human?and delivers it to every line of music played, every phrase of lyrics written and sung, until the pure truth of her sound and message pierces the heart of her audience. Once you hear her?once you feel her?you will never be quite the same. The Deanna Bogart Band since 1995 includes Mike Aubin on drums, Kajun Kelley on guitar and Eric Scott on bass. They will play at Jammin Java Music Club Friday December 30. Jammin' Java Music Club and Cafe is located at 227 Maple Avenue East, Vienna, Virginia. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
