Audrey Welber Trio
|
|
|
"Audrey Betsy Welber is best known to jazz fans for her sax work with two popular Jersey bands: Swingadelic, and the Jazz Lobsters Big Band. However, she often steps out on her own with a virtuosity that can be attributed to her classical training. She has studied woodwinds since childhood and is at home on saxophone, clarinet and flute. A first-call musician, she is comfortable in nearly every musical genre, but devotes much of her performing to jazz, citing influences such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Freddie Hubbard. Reviewers call her sound “inspired” and “gloriously pure-toned,” and Will Friedwald of The Wall Street Journal singled out Audrey’s “especially fluid clarinet solo” in his review of Swingadelic’s CD Toussaintville (Zoho)." Don Jay Smith, Hothouse Jazz
I couldn't have said it better. With Noriko Kamo organ and Rob Henderson drums

PHOTO GALLERY: "Marty Grosz's 90th courtesy of Lynn Redmile
Thanks to Susie Molnar and the HVB staff, 75 people had a glowing time February 27 listening to Marty and wishing him a Happy 90th. Equal parts 'historicizing' and performing (guitar, banjo, and singing), Marty was joined by Scott Robinson, Danny Tobias, and Gary Cattley. Series host, Phil Orr, tickled the plastics really hard on a few tunes as well. It was one for the books!
