Sonny & Perley's Jive Five

 

 

 

 

Sonny & Perley’s Jive Five feature Sonny Daye and Perley Rousseau with Mike DelPrete, Sam Zucchini and Charlie Tokarz.

Perley has a beautifully rich voice, with the emotional power, swing and improvisational feel of a true jazz singer. She is a super songstress…a beautiful, smoky voice, wonderful intonation, and stage presence.

Sonny’s very facile, slightly percussive keyboard work and appealing arrangements are also key components of their crowd pleasing presentation.

Lush, soaring, deliciously seasoned vocals with a hot and swinging jazz rhythm section. Music from the "Swing Era" and from the great American composers. Music that swings sometimes with a little Latin flavor! Exciting!!!
