The supremely talented jazz/cabaret singer and pianist, Daryl Sherman, stopped by The Item Tuesday to say hello. She had just finished a gig in New Orleans and is taking a few days off before heading back to New York.
Just about a year ago, Daryl gave a wonderful performance at The Imperial, accompanied by saxophonist Skipp Pearson and his ensemble. The house was packed, and Daryl's singing was impeccable. Her banter between songs and humor (some even during the songs) engaged everyone in the room.
Tuesday, Lynn Kennedy gave Daryl a tour of the Sumter Opera House. She was very impressed.
Could there be another Daryl Sherman performance in the works? Signs say -- "Could be" -- and on the second shake of the old 8-ball, "Ask again later."
I will, with fingers crossed.
Check out Daryl Sherman's recent appearance on "Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz" on NPR. She performed a great set of Johnny Mercer tunes.
