Synopsis

Album Description
Bobby Lewis "Just Havin' Some Fun" "His lyrical skills are in full flight" Lloyd Sachs ~The Chicago Sun-Times (S-SSD 0063) Flugelhorn/Trumpet master, composer, singer and arranger Bobby Lewis returns again with his unprecedented 5th Southport CD Release "Just Havin' Some Fun." Recently back from his first tour of India, and second tour of Poland, Mr. Lewis continues his poetic, vibrant and melodic approach to jazz and brazilian/latin music. In a world that has become so complex and serious, Bobby Lewis brings a musical smile from Chicago across the face of sound and time. The 11 tracks on this CD follow many directions, from the stellar, swinging jaunt of the title track, "Just Havin' Some Fun", to the mystical glow of "Nalini" (both Lewis originals.) The lush sound of Bobby Lewis gently amazes. Of special note on this release is the Southport solo debut of Chicago songstress Bonnie Herman (member of the famed vocal group, The Singers Unlimited.) Bonnie sings "Some Other Time," a Leonard Bernstein composition from the Broadway musical "On The Town." The jazz standard "Just Friends", is arranged by Dick Boyell for the quartet and five clarinets from the Chicago Symphony, as a vocal duet for Bonnie and Bobby. Ms. Herman's voice is pure romance captured in time on disc. And so Bobby Lewis asks the musical world, "What are you doing?" We respond, "Just Havin' Some Fun!" Band Members: Bobby Lewis, Bonnie Herman, Jim Ryan, Thomas Kini, Jeff Stitely, Curtis Robinson; Alejo Poveda, Pat Mallinger, John Allred, Paul Wertico, John Bany, Jim Beebe, Chuck Hedges, Larry Combs, John Yeh, Julie Deroche, Burl Lane, Lawrie Bloom, Rob Kassinger, Ruben Alvarez, Geraldo De Oliveira.
