powers" (pianist Fred Hirsch). His fluid technique and lyricism
have won him international praise and accolades as the "Segovia
of Jazz." An eloquent and versatile improviser, Gene has been heard
with an extraordinary range of jazz greats, including performances
and recordings with Benny Goodman, Buddy Rich, Wayne Shorter, Hubert
Laws and Paul Desmond, among others, as well as such distinguished
singers as Tony Bennett, Lena Horne, Nancy Wilson, Vic Damone and

About Catherine Dupuis and Rules of the Road (2005)
(arranged and conducted by Russ Kassoff, featuring, the Russ Kassoff
Trio, Bucky Pizzarelli, Ted Nash, Marvin Stamm and Joe Cohn), Scott
Yanow (All Music Guide) writes: "Although not overly famous, Catherine
Dupuis shows on this CD that she is one of the most interesting
jazz singers of the early 21st century. Her song selection is particularly
strong, with a few standards performed in fresh ways and joined
by vintage obscurities and newer material. "I've Never Been in Love
Before" and "Lonesome Road" are reinvented. The Rules of the Road
is highly recommended and a perfect introduction to the singing
of Catherine Dupuis."
There is a $15 cover with a 1-drink minimum.
