Skillful Cleveland vocalist Debbie Gifford can move smoothly between pop, Latin and R&B music, opera and musical theater. But everything she sings has a tinge of jazz, her real passion. She’s performed all across the U.S and Canada, as well as Europe and Asia, sung with the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra and at the Tri-C JazzFest. She’s released five CDs that showcase her impressive range and intuitive grasp of a song’s core.
Like so many artists though, she likes to be “home for the holidays,” performing for local audiences. So she’s bringing her “Jingle Bell Jazz” concert to the BOP STOP this week. There she’ll perform jazz standards, her own originals and of course such holiday favorites as “Santa Baby,” “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” and “Mary, Did You Know?”
She’ll be accompanied by Ed Ridley on piano, Jeff Slater on bass and Eric Everett on drums. Get tickets here.
