Another staple of CAE's February Pops concerts is featuring members of the choir in solos or small groups. Sticking with the jazz theme, our next piece is the first of two solo performances this evening and features soprano Sylvia Nelsen, who has been with the group since 2003. She sang “The Gift,” a great Bossa Nova jazz standard made famous by Eydie Gorme on her 1963 album, Blame it on the Bossa Nova. She is accompanied by her husband, Paul Nelsen, who is the accompanist for the Multnomah Athletic Club Balladeers, and has also played for CAE events, concerts and rehearsals.
