Video: Brynn Stanley sings Grover Kemble’s ‘Talk to Me’
A while back we reported on an explosive musical mixture: One part Grover Kemble + one part Brynn Stanley = KABOOM!
As in, they blew the roof off the joint.
Turns out they’ve been refining the formula in Grover’s laboratory. (His front lawn, actually, if our video camera has it right). And the mix is more potent than ever.
Don’t be surprised if you see roofers hard at work over at the Starlight Room in Morristown, where Brynn and Grover unleashed their chemistry experiment in a packed house for 90 sizzling minutes earlier this week.
These video clips give you an idea. Rounding out this smoking “Jazz Jump” ensemble were Tim Metz on bass and John Hvasta on drums.
Brynn was not even a twinkle in her parents’ eyes when Grover was making his mark with Sha Na Na and Za Zu Zaz. Looks like the language of jazz — Scat is the academic term– transcends generational boundaries.
If you want to experience this external combustion for yourself, Brynn and Grover are playing Shanghai Jazz in Madison on Friday, May 23.
On April 20, they venture to the new Randolph Performing Arts Center, at The Music Den on Route 10. And on June 1, they test the roof at the Watchung Arts Center.
