While the entire album is top-notch, the track that has always stood for its sheer elegance and beauty is In the Blue of Evening. The song ...

Bob Leary’s sextet closed out the Charlotte County Jazz Society’s 2016-17 concert season exploring a wide array of vintage material that had toes a-tapping. The band mined quite a few trad jazz classics and early pop hits along with a variety of New Orleans jazz staples at the Cultural Center Theater in Port ...
