    Jazz legend Barbara Morrison comes to Phoenix for an evening of swingin' jazz and blues at the Wrigley Mansion. Originally from Detroit, Barbara Morrison's twenty-five year career as a performer and recording artist includes appearances worldwide with some of the greatest names in jazz: Ray Brown, Kenny Burrell, Ron Carter, Ray Charles, Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Collette, Joe Williams, Gerald Wiggins, Jimmy Witherspoon, Hank Crawford, Eddie Harris, Nancy Wilson, David T. Walker and Jimmy Smith. She has performed in such highly regarded venues as Carnegie Hall, the North Sea Jazz Festival, the Bern Jazz Festival and the Playboy Jazz Festival, and she also toured Europe with Ray Charles. Barbara seems equally at home in a broad range of idioms, but jazz and blues are unquestionably her forte. Morrison has been compared to some of the greatest female jazz and blues singers including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughn. The New York Times stated, 'A joy, at Carnegie Hall, Barbara Morrison delivered one song a la Esther Phillips and another with Ella Fitzgerald's blithe scat singing.' Barbara is joined by Paul Anderson on Sax, Barb Catlin on Piano, Jack Radavich on Bass, and Cleve Huff on Drums. The This will be an incredible night of music and dancing. We welcome those who would like to swing dance or just sit, relax and listen. Important Information: This event is open to all ages with a full bar available for those 21 and over with valid ID. The dress code is casual - no jeans, shorts, sweats, or t-shirts. Beginners always welcome. No dance partner needed.
