I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good

A Conversation with Dawn Derow

A splendid listen.

Always on-the-money vocals.

Devoid of swing from the top hat down––lacking not only that feeling of jazz but the genius of the one-and-only Duke Ellington.

A top-of-the-class evening of cabaret.

Ellington was the epitome of a gentleman musician.

T. Oliver Reid’s full-frontal charm is impossible to resist.

A rich mahogany-tinged voice

An engaging show.

Her vocal control and phrasing abet her presentation.
