Derek Hines Sextet Live @ The Jazz Room

Derek Hines’ book of vocals is quite diverse. The themes focus on traditional standards from Evans to Monk. The sub-plots are a jazz take on legends from Lennon/McCartney to Jimmy Webb. This wonderful local singer and chef brings an amazing band to his yearly Jazz Room show. Derek sings jazz as it should be sung, with skill and emotion. Highlights of his career include performances with Freddy Cole, and 70′s television great John Davidson.

Interesting interpretations of old and new standards. A series of introspective conversations between old musical friends.
