If you were to combine the soul of Frank Sinatra, The spirit of Sammy Davis Jnr and the pure class of Tony Bennett you would find yourself somewhere close to the warm velvet voice of Bob.E.Dymon.
Although an undiscovered treasure, Bob had a very interesting career dating back to the sixties. As a young man, he began singing Jazz in and around London and to this very day he is
Still singing,
Still loving it and
Still has that certain something his fans adore.
Bob was originally trained as an opera singer but soon realized that his first love was Swing and Modern Jazz.I say he is undiscovered which is not strictly true because in 1968 Pye Records offered him a tour of the South Sea Islands, New Zealand and Australia with a view to making a record; a once in a lifetime opportunity.
However, his eldest daughter Anne, then eighteen months old, was clutching his leg before he had a chance to sign the contract that would take him away from home for six months.
The temptation of fame and fortune was not enough to separate him from his beloved child.
How many artists would have been willing to turn down such an offer?
I believe it's that love, that heart and that passion that makes Bob the great singer he is today.
He thinks about the lyrics and tells the story in song the way the lyricist would have wanted it portrayed.Bob regularly fronts an eighteen-piece swing band, sings with Jazz trios and quartets and more recently is available as a self-contained soloist with bespoke backing tracks or with his sons Jake and Robert. Jake can be heard on track number two Me and My Shadow.If you love Jazz, Swing or just great songs sung beautifully you would be looking to book Bob.E.Dymon.I suppose the question I would ask you is...........
Why on Earth wouldn't you?
