George French is a band leader and both a bass
player and a vocalist, and extremely talented and versatile as both.
Comfortable with a standup or electric bass, Mr. French has earned the
respect and admiration of his peers and audiences alike. His stylized vocals will remind one of Lou Rawls, but it is no imitation, George French's voice has an extreme vocal range and power, all its own. Very often teamed on the bandstand in duets with Germaine Bazzle, New Orleans first lady of Jazz, the music becomes the epitome of a great modern jazz performance. Like many great New Orleans musicians, George French refuses to be limited or labeled. "I play music", and his sets are famous for taking request, a sign of virtuosity and a vast repertoire. We've never been disappointed by a George French set. ©2009 by Lloyd Dennis |
