 Out
'n the Cold was formed purely by a chance meeting in
1977 during a local live radio show in Elizabeth City,

Sanders, and Red Swain were there that day with other
musical groups; but after some inspiring 'back room
jam sessions', decided to put their own band together.

 Songwriter,
singer, and hit-maker…the songs of Karla Bonoff
have come to define a generation. With her latest recording
on Columbia/Legacy, All My Life, and regular touring
with special guest Kenny Edwards, Karla recalls her
rich history as performer and writer in an engaging
repertoire of her many million-selling songs.
Karla’s legacy as a performer and writer was recently
summed up in Billboard Magazine, who spotlighted Karla’s
All My Life recording, "Long before Alanis and
Jewel, there was a breed of singer/songwriters whose
earthy anthems of soul-searching, heartache, and joy
touched souls in a way few can muster today...This collection
stands as a testament to the ideal that the good ones
are indeed ageless."

Jazz Singer Stephanie Nakasian
An Authentic Jazz Swinger for the New Millennium!
The Pamlico Musical Society is pleased to announce our
first concert of the new season with Stephanie Nakasian
and the Hod O'Brien Trio on Friday, September 15th at
7:30. They will also present a workshop with the High
School Choral Class.
Stephanie Nakasian, with her clean, clear
lovely tone is listed in the Biographical Encyclopedia
of Jazz as one of the world's leading jazz singers.
She first came to international attention in the mid-80s
when she sang and toured with the vocal jazz master
Jon Hendricks and Company - her "vocal jazz apprenticeship."
Since then, she has toured and recorded as a leader
and with her partner and internationally acclaimed jazz
pianist Hod O'Brien. Together with their daughter Veronica
(who also sings and records under the name Veronica
Swift) they make their home in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Since 1980 Ms. Nakasian has been actively recording.
Her debut CD "Comin'Alive" (V.S.O.P.) features
legendary saxophonist Phil Woods and received four stars
from critic Leonard Feather. "French Cookin'"
(V.S.O.P.) spotlights the beautiful combination of Ms.
Nakasian's voice with virtuoso French hornist Bobby
Routch. Her "Bitter Sweet" CD (JazzMania)
was also very well received. Her "Escapade"
takes the audience on a fantasy swing voyage, and her
latest CD "Lullaby in Rhythm" is in tribute
to Kenton singer June Christy and features tenor saxophonist
Harry Allen.
Her original concert revues such as "The
Great Ladies of American Song" and various composer
and singer tributes have been favorites with schools
and universities and concert goers. Her "Great
Ladies" revue, which traces the development of
jazz singing from Bessie Smith and the Blues through
Mildred Bailey, Billie Holiday, and the Band singers
to Broadway, Bebop and Beyond, is also offered as an
academic course at the University of Virginia where
Ms. Nakasian teaches private voice. Her latest recording
project is an educational CD tribute to these "Great
Ladies" in which she guides the students through
a listening and learning exercise studying the nuances
of style and phrasing. In addition, she teaches jazz
voice and vocal jazz improvisation at The College of
William and Mary in Williamsburg. She has directed and
coached vocal jazz ensembles and gives numerous workshops
each year to schools and conferences. Ms. Nakasian authored
the vocal jazz book "It's Not on the Page! How
to Integrate Jazz and Jazz Rhythm into Choral and Solo
Repertoire" which she has presented in workshops
to over 25 state and national music education conferences
in the U.S., including MENC, IAJE and MTNA. She also
adjudicated at the McKnight Fellowship Competition in
Minneapolis in 2005.
Another element which makes all this so
exciting is her electric and personal stage persona
- she does a world class vocal trombone imitation and
she's fun to watch! It's exciting to be part of the
experimental and spontaneous creativity of her art.
