Tara Williamson at Wilfs

I have been wanting to hear Tara ever since I heard that she is replacing Karla Harris as the newest member of Signatures ("my favorite girl group").  She performed with her trio of very capable sidemen, Justin Smith on trumpet, John Shaw on bass, and drummer Ed Pierce.
I loved the first set, a variety of jazz standards from the 20's (Fats Waller) to the 60's (Peggy Lee).  My favorite number was an up tempo interpretation of "Moon River".  I have heard a number of artists perform that classic; everyone seems to have stolen Andy Williams' chart; the song is beautiful but always sounds the same.  Tara gave it a lively twist; a gutsy move that more than succeeded!
Her second set showcased her singer/songwriter side; playing acoustic guitar and singing some original tunes.  She is a talented lady.  Really look forward to her work with Barb, Kat and Suzette at Tony Starlights in June.
Love the shows (and the food!) at Wilfs.  Check out their upcoming shows.
