Isabel Stover , vocals Molly Flannery, piano Bill McCormack, bass

“Jazz is my go-to music; my comfort food,” says Isabel Stover. “As vocal artists there is a need to bear our souls to the world, but at the same time make our music accessible to people.  Which is why all the musical influences that I bring to the table must inform what I do, from my choice in songs to how I sing a particular lyric.” In fearlessly deconstructing musical compositions to their emotional core, Stover’s indelible presence shines through regardless of genre or style.

Molly Flannery has a distinctive touch on the piano, with melodic improvisations, and the ability to groove in jazz, Latin, and Brazilian idioms. These talents, combined with her skills in arranging and composing music and leading ensembles, make her a major player in the highly competitive Boston jazz scene.

After studying composition, improvisation, and theory at Yale, Molly began her performing career in Kyoto, Japan in 1981 where she appeared frequently at local clubs, and eventually settled in Boston where she studied jazz with Ran Blake, Charlie Banacos, and Kenny Werner.

Bassist Bill McCormack grew up in Ireland and started playing trumpet and bass at an early age. Before moving to the United States he played bass with many of Irelands` top musicians including singers Honor Heffernan and Christine Tobin, traditional Irish band Stocktons Wing, and was a member of renowned jazz guitarist Louis Stewarts’ regular quartet. He continues to hold down the groove on a diverse Boston music scene playing both upright and electric bass with many of the areas best musicians.
