Mumphard, Bode will swing holiday sounds


Trio Trés Bien will back vocalist Danita Mumphard
at Cookie's on Saturday, December 17


If you're looking for a fresh slant on the old holiday favorites, two of St. Louis' female jazz vocalists soon will be performing their own personal takes on seasonal music.

On Friday, December 9 and Saturday, December 10, Erin Bode will bring her group to Finale for two nights of holiday standards. Bode's second album on MAXJAZZ is due for release early next year, so perhaps listeners may get a bit of a preview of her new record as well.

And on Saturday, December 17, Danita Mumphard will perform at a Christmas party at Cookie's Jazz and More. Ms. Mumphard will be backed by Trio Trés Bien, which includes her father, Harold Thompson, on bass. Always nice to see a family together at holiday time, isn't it?
