Please join SUZY WILLIAMS & NORMAN ZAMCHECK for this VERY SPECIAL show. At eighteen years old, Suzy met “Stormin’ Norman” Zamcheck, a Yale graduate in literature and “damn good boogie woog ie piano player”. Partnering with Stormin Norman, she cut two albums with him (Fantasy Rag, 1975 and Ocean of Love, 1978) and toured the east coast for 12 years. In 1976, the great jazz pianist and composer Eubie Blake paid Suzy an ins piring compliment in the form of a handwritten letter,20"I heard alot of white women try to imitate negroid singing, but you are the only one who has it down pat." With their own unique rag'n'roll, Stormin’ Norman & Suzy eventually played Carnegie Hall. They received lots of critical praise: "Suzy's voice is vibrant and lusty...great gusto and bold emotion." - Nat Hentoff. "Williams' energy must be seen to be believed...a natural performer." - Robert Palmer, The New York Times. They continue to do amazing shows together every year.
