Denise Perrier

Anybody fortunate enough to chat with jazz singer Denise Perrier between her sets, or at any number of other people’s local gigs at which she’s been a welcome and appreciative member of the audience for three decades, will come to a delightful realization: Her speech is as rich and engaging as is her lustrous, vocalizing contralto. And her personality is as generous and genuine as is her approach to the lyrics of the American songbook. Perrier, who also performed with Louis Armstrong and on extended stays abroad, will join host vocalist Pamela Rose in serving up a musical offering to what she calls the “Wild Women of Song,” among them Alberta Hunter and Peggy Lee. It’ll be a warm and delicious run-up to Thanksgiving.
