Sept. 28, 7:30 PM"About 2 minutes into an Angela Bingham show you are hearing lyrics you never paid attention to before. About 10 minutes in, you are hoping you can still get a ticket for the 2nd set." --Dave Finucane, Durham Jazz Workshop
Angela Bingham has been a singer her entire life. Her singing is characterized by the qualities of honest expression, solid swinging and an emphasis on the blues. With a clear, steady tone and a penchant for improvisation, "She phrases conversationally, making the lyrics her own and creating the impression that she's speaking her mind and heart directly to you, as if the two of you were conversing over cocktails or an intimate supper - without sacrificing any of a song's musical interest. When Angela steps onto the stage, the instrumentalists respond with the same genuine enthusiasm and respect with which they would greet a bad-ass horn player." (David R. Halliday, 20 year west coast veteran of jazz radio DJ) Angela is steeped in the tradition of the great jazz vocalists and pulls material from both the Great American Songbook as well as more modern singer/songwriters.
Jim Ketch, director of the Jazz Studies department at UNC-CH for over 30 years and founder of the North Carolina Jazz Repertory Orchestra also runs his own Swingtet. One of the busiest players and teachers around and one of the most popular performers in the Sharp 9 concert series.
