I'm old enough to have heard all the old "greats".She needs to be given her place at that table.. NEVER heard anything like what comes from her soul and out the ind of that stick
Ive heard and listened to all the greats Benny Goodman, Sabine Meyer, and Julian Bliss etc etc and this lady blows them all out of the park, and what a haunting voice, she is truly a gift from god....
Is she the best clarinet in the world? I haven't felt as at home and in heaven as this since my religious childhood(i'm from the 60's). Her voice is unique and haunting and real. She also fulfills my quest for some religious music, not hymns, music, that gave me this joy in music.
Being able to walk down Royal St & see/listen to Doreen & band playing. is probably the thing I miss most after having to move from that magical city, New Orleans.
Wonderful, talented Doreen has a cute moment in "Treme", in the airport scene where the band is playing. Trombone Shorty and another musician get off the plane, and walk by, see the other men...wind up sitting in...Then Doreen cracks the funny line, "Hey we ain't gotta split this nine ways, do we?"
WOW , this is undoubtedly the finest clarinet I've ever heard & she can sing as well . I'm only glad I spotted her in a compilation whilst watching a few renditions of 'Just a closer walk with Thee' . OMG she was brilliant !
She is incredible!!! I'm a classically trained clarinetist love to be able to play jazz but never got the chance :(:(:( While Doreen taught herself jazz bloody amazing!!! She is a legend
Search for her after seeing one of her videos on Facebook and I was moved to tears. Happy tears after having such a trying week, God is great and may her beautiful music keep helping people the way it did to me. Thank you for sharing and may God continues to bless her and her band. Real talent and amazing music🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️🎶😂
LOVE Doreen !!, can't get enough, she's a truly gifted artist. No disrespect to any artist, it's just that she's SO very good at what she does, nobody else out here like her. All the musicians that play with her are great too. I subscribed. Thanks for posting.
Benny and the boys did not hold light to her. I love them too, listened to them all my life and still do today, but this is something else altogether. God visits us through every note she plays. Simply beautiful.
+Janette. I guess she's doing this for their fund raiser so I would bet if you get ahold of WWOZ Radio they would be happy to sell you a CD for a small payment…Ummm "WWOZ during the Fall 2014 Membership Drive."
Yeah, that was throwing me off.. the tuba guy playing drums is doing a quite good knowing that but this performance would be killer with the full setup
