Summer Song Trio: Melanie O’Reilly – Vocals, Carole Nelson – piano, Dave Mooney – bass. Celebrate June jazz with the Summer Song Trio, featuring three stellar musicians who perform the sound of swing jazz, sultry summer samba and cool bossa, who present a delicious array of songs celebrating the “Great American Songbook”, bringing new life to the songs of Tin Pan Alley, while also presenting their unique expression of the songs “that seduced the world” ,with the sound of bossa nova and samba. From Ellington to Ella from Jobim to Gilberto, from Anita O’Day to Elis Regina, from Tadd Dameron to Tania Maria, this intoxicating trio will bring you on an unforgettable jazz journey; and as in the words of Brubeck’s Summer Song , they will make “winter’s shadow seem to disappear”.
