The San
Francisco Bay Area is a hot bed of activity for its female singers.
Add the name of Sherri Roberts to the list containing Kitty Margolis
and Madeline Eastman. She opens her program with a very boppish "Zoot
Walks In" and exhibits some fine vocal chops.
The
very next tune is the standard "With A Song In My Heart," bouncing
right back with "Social Call" and showing off her hornlike vocal
qualities on "Two Kites." From then on, it just gets better and
better. Roberts is the beneficiary of five-star arrangements by
bassist Harvie Swartz and backing by Mark Soskin, drummer Danny
Gottleib and saxophonist Chris Potter.
