AMB Jazz Center
Barbara connects with her audience. She's the real deal, this is jazz. Her interpretations have range: they are poignant and sensitive; they are sassy, sexy and fun. She throws herself out there and in the process draws her audience in. She is enchanting and lovely to watch. She'll take you through a gamut of emotions with her haunting vocal style. When performing with her musical director, Marc Puricelli, you're in for a delightfully fresh musical experience -- they're magic.

"There's warmth and sunshine in every performance Barbara Steel gives us.
When she sings "Bye Bye Blackbird," you know the crow himself is sorry to go!"
