Beverly has explored and performed jazz standards, bossa nova, blues, and  chansons for more than 20 years, and released an album of critically-acclaimed  jazz and blues originals with guitarist and arranger Nathan Hiltz. The more she  studies this music, the deeper she wants to go into the melodies, harmonies,  and rhythms for the essence of the songs’ stories and feelings. Her particular  focus lately is on forgotten gems and Brazilian bossa nova (which she enjoys  singing in the original Portuguese). She’s grateful for the magical time on the  bandstand with jazz partners, and the connection with live (in-the-same-room)  audiences, in nightclubs, all-ages listening venues, and at outdoor festivals. For  this early-week performance, Beverly and two of her favourite musical friends  will play swing, bossa, originals, blues and more. Come on in to The Rex!
