On June 25th Barbara took part in a major pipe organ concert. This is from the program notes:
Our tradition-bound (and generally church-connected) instrument enjoys the presence of someone like Barbara Dennerlein who pumps fresh air into its being. Barbara is applauded worldwide during her perpetual-motion concert tours, but though the jazz community may know her as a Hammond ‘B-3 Babe’ (my term), she’s proven that the pipe organ can play real jazz, too. Barbara made a hit with appearances last summer at Philadelphia’s Verizon Hall and on San Diego’s Spreckels Organ in Balboa Park, and I expect that you’ll be seeing her name more often in exceptional, if unexpected, venues.
