A Nocturnal Social Cocktail


In the midst
of
metamorphosing
moments
in
a dimly lit
setting
elevated wineglasses
and
nibbled
bite-size morsels
inquiring head waiter
nervous laughter
and
good-natured grins

Tom Grant

a
virtuoso pianist
recognized
for his
romantic
melodic inventiveness
and
deep feelings

a
quintessential jazz singer
with an
exceptional vocal range
her
personal emotion
infuse
life into a song

Toni Lincoln


 becomes
an unbelievable listening
experience

“so tight the melody”
“between the two at times” 
“sounded telepathic
totally
euphoric”

a
natural and relaxed
swing 
rhythmically loose
melodies
like
“Speak Low”
“Come Rain or Come Shine”
“Tenderly”
“Stella by Starlight”
“Stairway to the Stars”
and
“My Day Will Come”
beautiful ballad with great lyrics


Toni Lincoln Vocalist
Tom Grant Pianist
