Description
Joyce Cobb’s musical journey has taken its fair share of twists and turns. After beginning her professional calling with the distinction of being signed by Stax during its heyday, she proceeded on to a career that includes highlights such as charting in the Top 40 with a record on the famed Cream label (later Hi Records), and touring internationally with household names like The Temptations, Muddy Waters, and Al Jarreau. Joining her is pianist Michael Jefry Stevens, who was recently honored with an induction into the company of Steinway Artists, which includes Irving Berlin, Cy Coleman, Billy Joel and Harry Connick, Jr. Upright bassist Jonathan Wires and drummer Renardo Ward complete the trio. To ensure the best sound possible, Archer arranged a Steinway D for Stevens and the sessions were recorded to magnetic tape to reflect the classic richness and warmth of sound that will recall smoldering Dinah Washington and Billy Holliday LPs.
