O’s Notes: Margie sings soulful blues and she is a premier entertainer. This is a live impromptu session recorded at Rasselas in San Francisco. She sings with strong emotion personalizing each of the tunes. Her band is. Fred Berry (t), Omar Clay (d), Duncan James (g), John Mackay (B3) and Don Ramsey (sax, fl). She leans on her church roots with “Shake A Hand” before taking us through a wealth of classic blues, jazz and pop tunes. Highlights are plentiful including “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore”, “Route 66”, “Parker’s Mood” and “Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby”. This is spontaneous good news!
