O’s Notes: Brulée is a band featuring vocalists Julie Weiner and Doug Onstad (p). They have performed extensively in the Bay Area and Sonoma wine region of California. They present their takes on jazz standards like “Skylark”, “Tout Doucement/Ain’t Misbehavin'” in French/English and “Summertime”. There are also several original pieces by Onstad. Their approach is unique with daring phrasing. It took us a while to engage but once there, we found their vibe. We thought the title track was the best of the lot.
