Featuring Deborah Stafford and The Flatirons Jazz Orchestra
Join us Monday night, November 20, for another evening of stories and music, featuring the great women of Jazz.
Female artists have made vital contributions to jazz history, shattering gender norms and enhancing the genre with their unique voices. This show combines stories and music to explore the lives of the female artists who are so often overlooked, including:
Billie Holiday – “God Bless the Child”
Ella Fitzgerald – “Honeysuckle Rose”
Sarah Vaughan – “Darn That Dream”
Peggy Lee – “Black Coffee”
Anita O’Day – “Cow Cow Boogie”
Blossom Dearie – “Deed I Do”
Carmen McRae – “When Sunny Gets Blue”
Nina Simone – “Feelin’ Good”
Julie London – “Cry Me a River”
Diane Reeves – “How High the Moon”
Shirley Horn – “Here’s to Life”
Diana Krall – “I’m Just a Lucky So and So”
Dianne Schuur – “I Just Found Out About Love”
And lots more.

Rated “Best Big Band in Denver” by CBS Local, and “One of the 10 Best Jazz Bands in Colorado” by ReverbNation, we play in regular rotation at all of the major dance venues in the Front Range, but Dazzle is our favorite.
