In the late
1960s and early 1970s vocalist Bobbe Norris was getting star treatment
in New York, recording for Columbia and doing all the major rooms,
television shows, etc. She moved back to her native San Francisco
and dropped out of the music scene for a few years until meeting pianist/arranger
Larry Dunlap in the late 1970s. Since joining musical forces they
have enjoyed a busy schedule of performances and recordings and were
married in 1983.
Their relationship
led to a rebirth of Bobbe's career that has seen her performing in
Japan, Europe and throughout the western US. They have made several
acclaimed recordings in the past 20 years and have remained very active.
Bobbe today is a seasoned performer who possesses one of the warmest
and most sultry voices that can be heard anywhere.
Together
with Larry Dunlap, Bobbe presents shows consisting of standards, many
rarely heard, original songs, Brazilian gems and other material, all
with very much in a cabaret style but strongly influenced by jazz.
Besides working
with Bobbe, Larry has been Dame Cleo Laine's accompanist for over
20 years. He has worked with a wealth of talented instrumentalists
and vocalists including Mark Murphy, Mary Cleere Haran, Ann Hampton
Callaway, Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer, Rebecca Parris and Joe Williams.
