# Event Details

- **Event Name**: PAJA presents: Vocalist Sherri Roberts, A Tribute to the Hep-Cat Singer Songwriters of Jazz
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: “I’m Hip!”- A Tribute to the Hep-Cat Singer/Songwriters of Jazz: 
Matt Dennis, Bobby Troup, Dave Frishberg, and Bob Dorough

They wrote the hippest songs of the times ( like "Route 66", "Angel Eyes", and that satirical anthem of the genre,“I’m Hip!”,) recorded by the era's greatest stars, including Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Billie Holiday. Yet they themselves were also unrepentant Lounge Lizards and Jazz Club Rats, craving the occasional spotlight and itching to play the piano and croon their wares to their own finger popping audiences.

Vocalist Sherri Roberts pays tribute to these craftsmen who wrote tunes with a bebop attitude that was gleefully subversive. Not songs created for stage or sentimental films, but for jazz singers to sing to jazz audiences- conversational, witty, blue-sy, and hip!

Called “a superior bop and standards vocalist “ by the Los Angeles Times, Sherri makes her debut with the Palo Alto Jazz Alliance and promises to bring her own distinct “West Coast Cool” vibe to this entertaining program. JazzTimes said it best: “How appropriate that Sherri Roberts opens with Bobby Troup’s “You’re Looking at Me.” For, stylistically, Roberts bears a significant resemblance to Mrs. Troup, gin ’n’ satin seductress Julie London. But where London’s voice was pale and distant as a winter moon, Roberts’ is all dappled sunshine…Enchanting.” 
She’ll be backed by this outstanding trio;                                                     David Udolf - piano, Chris Amberger- bass, Akira Tana- drums
