Sonny and Perley - Cabaret Jazz Performance!

"Sonny and Perley brightly meld lyricism, passion, and rhythm in a way that is both rich and
exotic... The nexus of art and emotion are joined in an exceptional way."
All About Jazz

"An evening with Sonny and Perley is an evening that feeds the soul yearning for the pleasure, beauty and sheer delight that only music and song can offer"
Cabaret at the Mount

"Perley is a SUPERSONGSTRESS. She has a beautiful, smoky-low to middle-upper register voice, wonderful intonation, and stage presence. The sky is her limit." Swingtime Magazine

Having a "beautifully rich voice, with the emotional power, swing and improvisational feel of a true jazz singer" (The Jazz Observer) brings a distinction to her captivating effervescence and saucy stage presence in cabaret performance. Yet it is her genuine warmth and love of the music graced by her "inimitable style" (Paul Elisha, WAMC radio) which draws listeners into her unpretentious and heartfelt interpretation of Great American Standards, Brazilian and French songs, many sung in the original language.

The exciting duo of Sonny Daye and Perley Rousseau achieves a rare musical symbiosis. The husband and wife team have spent the last several years developing and perfecting their unique blend of Jazz, Brazilian, American Songbook Standards, and International Cabaret which has become their musical signature. They engagingly perform the timeless standards of the Great American Songbook such as Berlin, Gershwin and Porter as well as the irresistible Brazilian melodies of Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Their 4 CD releases "Love Dance" (1996), "East of the Sun" (1998), "Let it Happen" (2004),"Sonny and Perley Live! Love is Here to Stay" (2009) have generated international air play and received critical acclaim. It is in live performance; however, where Sonny and Perley truly shine. Throughout New York, New England and in Europe, the duo has captivated audiences with their spontaneity, warmth, musical honesty and broad repertoire.
