Barbara Morrison: A Sunday Kind Of Love

Barbara Morrison

Anybody who has ever heard vocalist Barbara Morrison command a stage knows that she possesses an effervescent singing style that drips with soul and a ribald sense of humor. The Ypsilanti-born singer spent her early career working with the blues legend Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, who gave the young singer a secure grounding in the blues. She has performed at the Montreux, Monterey, Long Beach and North Sea jazz festivals, Carnegie Hall and probably every Southern California jazz venue of the last 40 years. Morrison has been heard with Ray Charles, Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Burrell, Jimmy Smith, Dr. John, the Count Basie Orchestra and Doc Severinsen's Big Band, to name a few. For A Sunday Kind of Love, her Savant Records debut, Morrison is joined by that most soulful of tenor players, Houston Person, in a program of standards and bluesy classics that could have been a Dinah Washington set list. Savant is proud to welcome Barbara Morrison's spirited vocals and rich, vibrant tones to their roster.
