The first set of Bob Bowman's album release party at the Orion Room in the basement of the Green Lady Lounge attracted a capacity audience on Thursday, November 20. Dozens of longtime fans of the bassist and many of his fellow musicians filled the handsome room with a convivial atmosphere.
Bowman was supported by guitarist Danny Embrey, pianist Roger Wilder and drummer Todd Strait. Vocalist Megan Birdsall joined the quartet for one selection.
Bowman's artistic and physical rejuvenation is one of the happiest recent developments on Kansas City's jazz scene. The official function for the release of the album Songs for Sandra, consequently, doubled as a celebration of Bowman's vitality.
