Join us for Valentine's Day from 6:00 - 8:00 for an evening of lively conversation, light refreshments, and live jazz with vocalist Barbara Paris and pianist Keith Waters.
Barbara Paris grew up in a musical family and as a child played violin, piano, and then guitar. Paris gained early experience as a folksinger while a teenager, but soon discovered jazz. She was encouraged by Eddie Shu, a tenor axophonist formerly with Gene Krupa, and Claude Tissendier, a saxophonist with Claude Bolling's Orchestra. She worked in Europe with Tissendier and for five years off and on with pianist Joe Bonner in Colorado. Barbara Paris has recorded three fine CDs for her Perea label and is a welcome fixture in the Colorado jazz scene, occasionally singing on both the East and West Coasts and in Europe.
