The Greater Detroit Jazz Society presents local jazz vocalist, Olivia Van Goor accompanied by the The Scott Gwinnell Band performing the music of Burt Bacharach.. Olivia Van Goor is known for being a versatile singer, showcasing her musicianship with her voice and being one with the band. Over the years, she has always searched for songs that connect vocalists with instrumentalists.

Burt Bacharach is one of the most accomplished popular composers of the 20th Century. In the ’60s and ’70s, he was a dominant figure in pop music, racking up a remarkable 52 Top 40 hits. In terms of style, Bacharach’s songs differed from much of the music of the era. Bacharach compositions typically boasted memorable melodies, unconventional and shifting time signatures, and atypical chords. Combining elements of jazz, pop, Brazilian music and rock, Bacharach created a unique new sound that embodied the time.

Experience why Shield’s has been voted Detroit’s Best by WDIV-Click On Detroit, Michigan’s Best by the Detroit News, and One of the Nation’s Best by Pizza Today Magazine.
