Series @ 7- Paula Johns More than just your Jazz Standards

Be it, R&B, Classical or Jazz, there are songs and certain artists that have inspired and touched me throughout my life that have pushed me into some of the musical choices I make and have made.

I've learned an appreciation of opera from mezzo-soprano Mertine Johns...(Yes, My Mother), I've also learned the cool elegance of Nancy Wilson, the humor of Pudgy, the great pop sound of Gladys Knight, the "Sassiness" of Sarah Vaughn, Jazz from Ella, and that NO FEAR attitude from the great Lena Horne! My band and I will be performing songs from Ella’s songbook, the Dionne Warwick songbook, which you remember from a few years ago, and also hits from Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, and those great songs from the Great American Songbooks of Gershwin, Porter & Kern

Paula has been performing with the Dave Hart Trio for quite a few years now and was the house band for over 2 years at South Jazz in Philly. Dave & Paula are currently working at The River House at Odettes in New Hope, PA twice a month in their cabaret lounge. With the help of Dave Hartl, on Piano, Lee Smith on Bass and Grant MacAvoy on drums, we hope to hit on your favorite songs. So, sit back and let us take you on a musical journey hopefully, with laughter, maybe a tear or two, but mostly smiling as you remember where you were when that song came out. www.paulajohns.com
