Roberta Baum Quartet live at Sweet Basil's NYC 1979

Jazz vocalist Roberta Baum live at Sweet Basil's in NYC with Anthony Davis piano, Mark Helias upright bass and Billy Hart drums. “One of the most fascinating vocal stylists to emerge in many years. With an exceptional feeling for rhythm and textures and a commanding sense of swing, Roberta Baum's ear for drum patterns alone sets her a notch above most singers. Like Abbey Lincoln, she has great theatrical presence, relying more on subtle rendering of the lyrics than on diva’s chops. Often interjecting conversational tones and cadences into her choruses, going for the emotional effect than the scale tones of the song, while modulating into neighboring key centers. Baum sounds like the illegitimate daughter of Fanny Brice and Miles Davis.“ Musician Magazine / Chip Stern “Haunting, exhilarating, moving and mystical. Roberta Baum first electrified listener’s with her dynamic gift of improvisational voice. Mentored by jazz legend Ornette Coleman, Roberta Baum breathes with a musical verve that evokes a fiery lust for freedom we may have forgotten we have.” Bill Murphy / Hartford Press Roberta Baum is a true vocal artist and an entertainer, in the now-lost sense of the term. Her talent goes beyond the limits implied by the term "jazz singer," to include Cabaret, Broadway and World Music. All this is backed by a fierce emotional investment and a keen-witted sense of fun. On stage she knocked us out with a performance that ranged from earth shattering to wistful, and most points in-between.... you go away after her show with a sense that you have shared in a very special experience, and you keep that memory long afterward.“ Bill Vindal #jazzartist
