New to Tucson, we are a husband and wife team. Arlette is a soprano and I accompany her at the piano and play harmonica.

Arlette and I have been performing for hundreds of clients since High School in 1978. We studied voice under Mr. Brazeal Dennard in Detroit and have traveled across the USA, with invitations to Japan and Russia since.

Making his own entrance onto the local CD scene, Tucson pianist Nick Stanley presents a light-fingered showcase of straight-ahead jazz with a hefty blues chaser. Each of the 13 tracks is inspired by an earlier, often iconographic, recording that influenced Stanley's even-handed approach to improvisation. The album's liner notes make these connections clear, so listeners can also appreciate this young musician's respect for the pre-fusion era of jazz when romance and lyricism were at least as important as sizzling technique. Among those cited for their influence are Red Garland, Wynton Kelly, Cannonball Adderly, Horace Silver and Gene Harris. Stanley plays with an easy confidence in the magic of swing, a belief that sweet rhythm can always put a smile on the listener's face. The joy is in knowing this pianist can find so much worth grooving on, no matter if it's a late-night blues or a sentimental rumination.
