Performing
with one of Kansas City's most dynamic quartets, Ms. Bey
"epitomizes the true jazz singer, in that she comes from
a vocal tradition that is rooted in older African
American Musics such as blues, spirituals, and gospel.
You can hear her command and understanding of these
powerful singing traditions when she performs. Her vocal
stylings are outstanding and she is a contemporary master
continuing the tradition of great singers like Sarah
Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dinah
Washington."
