Mary Stallings & Bill Charlap Trio
Each generation, it seems, discovers Mary Stallings anew. A supremely soulful jazz singer, the San Francisco native has appeared alongside jazz greats including Cal Tjader, Dizzy Gillespie and the Count Basie Orchestra. With her supple sense of swing, blues-inflected phrasing, and gift for empathic interpretation, the 2011 SFJAZZ Gala honoree often invokes superlatives. Case in point, The New York Times has declared that “Perhaps the best jazz singer alive today is a woman almost everybody seems to have missed.” Her 2012 High Note release, Don’t Look Back, is a gorgeous collaboration with the Eric Reed trio.
