Bobby Lyle with Amanda Cole

He has served as musical director for such notable artists as Al Jarreau, Anita Baker, Bette Midler (with whom he scored an Emmy nomination for her HBO special Diva Las Vegas), and Phyliss Hyman. His 1990 project The Journey made it to #1 on the Billboard jazz chart, and he is still the only artist whose record (Straight and Smooth on the Three Keys label, 2005) appeared on both the Billboard Magazine smooth jazz, and the Billboard traditional jazz charts at the same time. Bobby Lyle is a true Jazz Legend.

Amanda Cole

While perhaps best known for her four-year stint (1999-2003) as a touring and recording member of En Vogue, the singer – who began recording demos in high school for the group’s songwriter/producers Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy – has also performed in touring productions of Ain’t Misbehavin’, Anything Goes and Dreamgirls; worked as a background vocalist for Tejano singer Rebecca Valdez; sung with jazz saxophonist David Villanueva (aka DVJazz); and received rave reviews for performing and 18-song tribute to her idol, Whitney Houston, with symphony orchestras across the U.S.
