Real name Barbara Norris Born June 26, 1939 Country United States Comments. A jazz singer that began her professional career singing in restaurants and clubs in California, and worked in San Francisco in the late 50s and early 60s. During this period, she was also secretary to the Kingston Trio..
Jazz singer Bobbe Norris cut her first album for Columbia in 1966 - she did the Ed Sullivan Show, Merve Griffin, a couple of appearances with Johnny Carson and Vegas with Buddy Rich. But like so many talented singers in the late '60's, her career got swamped by the tidal wave that was rock-and-roll - and she returned to San Francisco to finish college and become a teacher. Since then, she's worked the Bay Area club circuit occasionally, usually with her husband, pianist Larry Dunlap. Recorded in 1997, "Out of Nowhere" catches Ms Norris at her best - and at her best, she's a whole lot better than a lot of singers with bigger names.
Ms Norris is a dark-toned contralto - she has a big voice - her lower register is a little smokey and her high notes are sweet and round - she articulates clearly and phrases well. She has a relaxed, swinging style - nobody sings a ballad better than Bobbe Norris.
"Out of Nowhere" is a set of standards - songs like: "My Old Flame," "It's You or No One," "Star Eyes," "Only the Lonely," and a lovely duet with Mark Murphy, a more than 8 minute long version of "Invitation."
The band is outstanding: Mr Dunlap, bassist John Wiitala and drummer Eddie Marshall are joined on various cuts by Noel Jewkes, on flute, clarinet or sax, and trombonist Jeff Cressman. With Mr Dunlap's piano usually taking the lead, and Messrs Jewkes and Cressman contributing some tasteful solos, the band just wraps itself around Ms Norris' voice.
