Just a little about Deb Davidson... Deb is a native of Cleveland and a graduate of Notre Dame College with a B.A. Degree. Deb has been entertaining professionally since her graduation from college. She has "paid her dues" in the entertainment world, touring the USA and Canada with the show group Bossa Nostra, which was the brainchild of Clarence Solar, keyboard artist and composer. Deb performed as a vocalist as well as playing key bass and synthesizer. Early on, her repertoire consisted mainly of show tunes, Latin and musical comedy. Only later did Deb develop her love for jazz...as well as her ears... while working with the late Neal Creaque and Chink Stevenson. Deb has a style that is all her own as she loves to explore beyond the traditional, using her voice "like an instrument with creations that present a unique delivery of improvisation, animation and clarity." Deb and her husband, Peter love travel to Brasil. Their mutual love for the music of this enchanting country as well as friendships made with many Brasilians, has taken them back several times. Deb and Peter have made several contacts with musicians in Rio de Janiero and Belo Horizonte as well as Bahia and has done some recording and performance in both Rio de Janiero and Salvador da Bahia. One of Deb & Peter's favorite places to stay in Salvador da Bahia is owned by musician, Octacilio Rocha. The name of this marvelous, musical retreat is Pousada Encanto, Itapoan. Deb also did a recording their last visit to Brasil with the group, Duo Brasil...funny little story here...Peter and Deb missed their connecting flight from Rio to the USA and were forced to remain in Rio one more evening. They met with their good friend and popular Brasilian songstress, Fernanda Cunha , for one more evening of Brasilian music. Fernanda and Marco took Peter and Deb to an area called Lagoa, where Deb was introduced to the duo, who invited her to share the stage...it was magical! Fernanda and her husband, Marco arranged for a recording early the next morning at Siri Records before their flight left for the USA! |
