WEST COAST COOL with Cheryl Bentyne & Mark Winkler
WEST COAST COOL
Cheryl Bentyne and Mark Winkler
Award winning, critically acclaimed jazz vocalist/lyricist, Mark Winkler meets multi Grammy-winning vocalist Cheryl Bentyne, (member of The Manhattan Transfer) and sparks fly. This dynamic duo is intent on proving how cool the West Coast Cool Jazz scene of the 50s still is. Together and separately they perform songs by Dave Brubeck, Chet Baker, Julie London and Bobby Troup (to name a few); all the while, weaving never before heard stories behind the music. Their 2013 Summit CD called "West Coast Cool" enjoyed a 4 month run on the Jazz Week charts and great reviews. Enjoy!
Accompanied by San Francisco's Larry Dunlap at the piano, Seward McCain on bass and Akira Tana on drums.
