- BIOGRAPHY:
- Donna Bailey - Biography
DBS Jazz Vocalist/Song Writer/Recording Artist
Described as being one of the most dynamic, soulful, entertaining vocalists on the jazz scene today, Donna Bailey creates a sophisticated, “coolness” to jazz standards and her own compositions. Her vocal interpretations, along with her captivating personality, have caused audiences to call her absolutely “spell-bounding”. After years of entertaining, Donna describes being invited to perform for the legendary Dave Brubeck, in honor of his 86th birthday at The Manchester Craftsman’s Guild, as one of the most exciting highlights of her career.
She headlined, in 2005, with the Philadelphia-based Eric Mintel Quartet at the Monroeville Jazz Festival. National appearances include the Concorde (Catskills), Dallas, celebrity & political fund raisers, Byham Theater, Kean Theatre, college and university theaters, jazz venues on Rush Street in Chicago, Boston and others.
She won "Entertainer of the Year" in 1991 by Promise Records of New York and was nominated for an ASCAP award for her composition, Charlie’s Place, written for an off-Broadway production of “Harvey”. Her song “Gifts From the Heart” won recognition from the Volunteers of America Group. Donna has also appeared in numerous commercials (NFL with Jerome Bettis), billboards, magazines, industrial films and national ads. Television appearances include The Joe Franklin Show, the Nancy Gold Show and WQED’s “On Q.” She was selected to be the “speaking voice” for the Pittsburgh Symphony’s “Power Kard”.
After Donna’s 2005 CD, “BECOMING…Ballads, Bosssa, Blues and Beyond” that includes two of her original compositions (My Favorite Thing & I Hope You Know) and fun, new “twists” to several standards, including Willie Nelson’s “Crazy” and Peggy Lee’s “Fever”, the DBS Jazz team went to work planning her latest project.
Her latest CD, DONNA BAILEY AND FRIENDS, was released late in 2008. It was produced by four-time Grammy winner, Jay Dudt of Audible Images. The project features nine world-class jazz artists, including Ivan Lins, Hendrik Meurkens, Joe Negri, Wayne Bergeron, Roger Humphries, Sean Jones, Ron Anthony, Jay Ashby and Mike Tomaro. She will be featured in the Winter and Sring issues of Jazziz Magazine. It will be featured in the 2009 winter and spring issues of Jazziz Magazine and "Love Dance" will be included on the April issue's compilation CD.

Ron Wilson (guitarist) is leading the jam on Tuesdays.
He would love to have you come in and sing.
I don't think I'll have time to go in September due to my travel schedule and last minute details for my CD Release.
I sure hope to catch up with you real soon.
Take care!
