Jazz Vocalist Betty Shirley CD Release March 12, 2007

You are invited to Discover Betty ~
Jazz Vocalist Betty Shirley returns with a bang with the release of her third CD~ “Close Your Eyes”

The showcase of the event will feature two performances by Betty Shirley where she will be performing songs form the new CD. Shirley ranges from classic jazz standards to Bossa Nova/Latin. Blessed with all the range and tonal control one might expect from a first-class jazz singer, she can scat, she can hang on to a note, she can coax and she can propel. Shirley improvises with unerring instincts and delivers exactly what a song needs, spinning songs like silk. She is a versatile jazz performer who mesmerizes audiences with her ability to make a song her own.
