You understood. How can one be among so many gifted people and not have tremdendous

8/13 Dear Rebecca: We saw you last night @ MAUDSLEY. MAGNIFICENT! I am the lady
who approached you after the concert (wife of Sandy Janes' friend/co-worker).
I, very mistakenly, made a suggestion for your next Ballad CD. The song I wanted
to suggest was 'BUT BEAUTIFUL'...have never heard it done so well by ANY artist.
I play Nat King Cole's album "The Very Thought of You" - which was
the song I mistakenly mentioned last night...you must have tho't, "this
lady is crazy...I didn't sing this tonight." Oh, well. A MUST for your
new album. Especially liked your nuance of ending the piece with..."Life
is Funny....." Great Touch! Please, Please, Please do it! Of course, "The
Very Thought of You" isn't a shabby song either.
Hope you consider it. We're all looking forward to seeing you again. We're a
very fussy audience and YOU are a truly GREAT TALENT!
Best regards, Laurie Curran

My husband and I just saw you for the first time today at Tanglewood. You were
absolutely fabulous. Can't remember when we enjoyed a performance as much (by
the way, we saw Tony Bennett and Diana Krall the night before - didn't enjoy
it nearly as much). You have a wonderful stage presence and look like you're
really enjoying yourself and it made for a most enjoyable afternoon. Thank you
for being so generous with your performance. Any chance you will ever come to
Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, NY? It's such a terrific venue. I'll be
checking your website to find out where I can catch another one of your great
performances.
Thanks again!

I heard the name George Mesterhazy the other day on the radio and went straight
home to my pc, did a search on George. I'm wondering if George is the same George
Mesterhazy I worked with years ago in Atlantic City at Le Grand Fromage. I sang,
he played great keyboard. If it's you George, Hello from your old music pal,

Will you be including "BUT BEAUTIFUL" on your new Ballads Album, "My
Foolish Heart"? You sing it so magnificently! Also, a comment. I want to
start a collection of all your CD's, and it's more informative if you list the
song selections on ALL of the albums (as you do on some of them). Would love
to hear your response to question above. Heard you at Maudslay, and "But
Beautiful" was MAGIC! Very moving! Best regards- Laurie Curran (E-mail:

Rebecca - it is good to see your webpage. I enjoyed hearing you in San Jose
this August. Maybe I'll go to Redwood City to see you. I so enjoyed your performance
at the Montgomery Theatre in San Jose with Smith Dobson. The first time I saw
and talked with you was at the Garden City Restaurant which has since lost it's
mind and cancelled jazz there....can you believe it. It was my home away from
home for soulful, music experiences. I want to get your new CD. Hopefully it's
here at Tower Records or I will order from you directly. My best to you...your
voice is such a gift (with a lot of hard work). I know I keep pounding the piano
keys. Hoping to get that great Smith Dobson piano sound. If you want to e-mail
me back my address is N4742 @AOL.com. My best to you....Nancy A. Nicholas 10/10/00

Dear Ms. Parris,
About 2 years ago I heard a recording of yours on a National Public Radio Jazz
show, "All My Tomorrows." I was in my car and had to leave and could
not wait until several more songs were played when the DJ would announce your
name. I just fell in love with your voice and the way you sang this song. I
called the radio station (something I have never done before) and got your name
and the name of the CD.
For the next several weeks I tried many stores (including some in Manhattan)
and on the internet to find this CD and found that it was out of print. I told
a friend of mine who was able to get the CD for me. It took about 6 months.
My husband and I love the CD and I also have some of your other CD's now.
I have also discovered your webside and have been checking your schedule in
hopes of seeing you in person. I was very excited to find that you will be appearing
in Cape May in November as I live in Central NJ. I plan to attend the Jazz Festival
in November specifically to see you.
Hope to see you there, along with many other exciting artists.
If you have time to write back I would love to hear from you.
Sincerely, Melanie Satran (sat7@aol.com)

Rebecca, whenever you're at Chan's I usually try to catch your show along with
my husband and a few friends. My girlfriends and I spent the jazz festival weekend
in Lenox to see you at Tanglewood-GREAT SHOW! One song you sang really touched
me and made me miss my husband. We just celebrated our 25th anniversary and
I wish you would sing "All my tomorrows belong to you" this Saturday
night (10/28). What a beautiful song. He's a very special person and it's really
hard to find something to show someone how special they are, and you can be
that something for me. No matter what, I'll enjoy your show and best wishes
to you. Now that I live out in the "burbs",I never get into the city
to see you in Cambridge or Boston-and anyway, no one can beat Chan's for atmosphere,
friendliness and to be honest, price. I will say hello to you on Saturday, so
that you can sign my Tanglewood program.

Rebecca...I heard of your web page through a Boston contact. I'm the drummer
for a Jazz and Swing Band called Pepper and Fine Thyme from Florida. When I
read your home page I was floored to see the name...Scott Steed on Bass. I was
on the road with Scott in the 80's and after the act broke up we lost contact
with each other. I saw him once (talk about a small world) at a Jazz Festival
in Sacramento, Ca. or was it L.A ??? Can't remember. Anyhow... I'd love to get
back in touch with him. Can you supply me with email or if you see him... (is
he in Boston now???) tell him Gary and Marion Denton say hello. Ask him to remember
the Alan and Shane Show. Hope to hear from you soon. Email me at gcd@tampabay.rr.com

Glad I found the jazz vocal website. Would you ever consider giving a vocal
workshop out here on your next tour date? I am sure that it would be a sell-out,
and I would be happy to assit? I sang professionally for 15+ years, unfortunately
have not sang in 8 years, but would love to be part of anything you do. I truly
admire your vocal/professional abilities, and miss you very much. Please let

I had never heard of you, but after hearing you I instantly fell in love with

love what you do. I could have listened to you all weekend.
Anyway, I don't have any of your CD's and would love to purchase your new one.

Rebecca, I'm sure you don't remember me, but I was thrilled and delighted by
your performance at the Cape May Jazz Festival this past weekend. I purchased,
and you signed, "A Passionate Fling". I commented that the reason
I purchased it was because it had one of my "favs" on it -- Little
Sunflower, by Freddie Hubbard. The entire album is great, and I'm looking forward
to your next venture with George. I'll touch base with your schedule from time
to time. I'd like to come see you perform and bring some of my friends that
didn't make Cape May. I hope you're planning to perform around the Philadelphia
area at some point. We'll travel an arc between Sandy Hook, NJ, and Baltimore,
MD to catch good acts -- and you certainly are one of them. Thanks for sharing
your talent.

Hi Rebecca, I am a singer in the Worcester area, classically trained and fairly
well known on the local level as a teacher and soloist. In my younger years
I sang and loved to sing jazz standards and did some work out. I am now in my
40's (mid) and would so like to get back into this area of entertaining, but
don't know if I would
be spinning my wheels at this point in my life. I'm not sure where to begin.
Any advice?

Hi "Becky"
I take liberties with your name because Jane and I have loved you for (dare

it was wonderful seeing you in Marble- head last week. I believe your voice
is better than ever and since we have finally come into the 20th century with
a CD player and a computer I'm sending you an e-mail while listening to you
claim you " Ain't Misbehavin'".
Just thought I'ld let you know we are thinking of you and wish you super success.

Hi Rebecca!
I'm new to cyberspace and websites and all that. Checked you out today and was
really thrilled to see that some of my students had e-mailed you after the great
concert and jazz clinic you did for us in Norwood MA back in May of 2000. It's
also really neat to read your guest book and see how personally you connect
witheveryone you sing to. You have an amazing talent for making people feel
special. I hope to hear you perform again soon. Your "A Beautiful Friendship"
CD is one of my all-time favorites. Glad all is going well

Hi, Rebecca! I don't want to push, but I have been hanging on my mailbox since
Valentine's Day, waiting for my copy of "My Foolish Heart". When will
they be going out? I bought mine at your performance at the Regatta Bar. Unfortunately,
I paid cash, so can't prove it! I paid $40.00 and got the other two cds on "special".
What a bonus night! I know that you have had problems with your old distributor/producer/whatever...but
is there any chance of your re-releasing your Big Band cd?
I love you! Brooke Condon @ Woodland45@aol.com

Dearest Rebecca.... now that I have left New England(Salem, MA) for sunny Florida
I find myself missing you already... having spent the past 12 years attendingyour
performances at Luca's, The Regatta Bar, Stouffers and Marblehead, I don't know
how I will survive the rest of my life without seeing and hearing you in person.
I fell in love with your voice back in the 80's when I heard you sing a ballad
on "Eric in the Evening" which spawned a futile attempt at finding
your recordings in any of the larger record stores. I was quite fortunate to
have a friend make a tape for me from a well worn album. I wore the tape out.
I now have all of your recordings except the xmas cd that I was not aware of
until just now when I saw it on your webpage and your latest cd of all ballads.
I would like to purchase both of them but do not know if the distribution reaches
Florida. I know you are on the road so I am not expecting an immediate reply....
I wonder if I might be able to purchase the new cd and the xmas cd directly
from you. Please let me know.....
I love you,

Dear Rebecca, Thank you for a wonderful performance at Chan's. My husband and
I saw you at Tanglewood for the time last fall and I had been raving about you
to my friend, who is a true lover of jazz, ever since. When I learned that you
would be at Chan's, I couldn't resist the opportunity to introduce her to you.
We traveled a long way, (from Albany, NY) but it was worth every mile, and then
some. As a matter of fact, we left Woonsocket feeling as if we made a new friend!
You are the best. It was a most enjoyable performance and you are not only extremely
gifted, but very warm and gracious! I hope you're able to come to Schenectady
on September 21st. It happens to be my friend's 80th birthday and this would
indeed be a special treat. Looking forward to seeing you again, but in the meantime,
I'll just keep playing the CDs over and over and over again. Best regards, Thea
Hambright (and Zelma Beltzer) Your new friends!

I stumbled on Rebecca's new CD of ballads on a listening station at Joseph Beth's
Bookstore in Lexington, KY, and I have to say that it is, without a doubt, one
of the best I have purchased in years. I love Shirley Horn, Cassandra Wilson,
Diane Reeves, Betty Carter, Nancy Wilson, etc.., and this woman has a style
that is very much her own. Her voice is laced with a greatness that I have not
heard in many years, and I am honored to have it as part of my collection. If
you have not purchased this CD, do it NOW....or at least soon. Open a nice bottle
of wine, turn down the lights, turn off the phone, lock the doors, and be prepared
to be lifted to another world. OK.....so I love the CD, but it really is one
of the best I have purchased out of about 700+/-, and I am one lucky man to
have found it. Looking forward to catching a concert hopefully. Gee......does
she ever come to Kentucky? Have a great listen, and thanks for a true work of
art in jazz vocals. Atkins1962@aol.com

Dear Rebecca,
Last month
I was in LA for the weekend and had the pleasure of talking to Tierney Sutton.
She absolutely insisted that I go to hear you at the Jazz Spot - and what a
gift that was. You blew me away! I find that jazz singers are usually primarily
actors, oriented to the lyrics of a song, or instrumentalists, who sometimes
treat the lyrics simply as sounds). But you are about the only person I have
ever heard who can illuminate both lyric and music, seamlessly, beautifully,
simultaneously. I know how much skill and presence of mind that takes, so I
am completely in awe. I am writing you because I am going to be in Boston next
week (May 22-26), and I wonder if I could meet with you to get some advice.
I just put out my first CD and am trying to figure out how to develop my craft
and my career from here. I live in Seattle but am trying to get the heck out
of here soon. Only I don't know where I should go - I'm homesick for the East
and have a great support network in Boston, but Tierney said that Boston would
be the absolute pits for building my career. ("Ask Rebecca!" she said.)
So, I'd love it if you could give me a kind of "master class" to share
with me any career development advice you have, as well as your feedback or
tips on my singing. I could send you a CD in advance. Please let me know if
you would have time for that on May 22, 23, 24 or 25. Thanks - and again, my
compliments on your amazing artistry. Sara ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sara Riviera Eclectic

Rebecca,
just happened to be playing on the computer on a "too hot" Saturday
afternoon in Las Vegas. "It's Another Day" is on in the background.
Thought I would check to see if you had a website. I was certainly delighted
to see that you had and that it was so accessible. Thanks for a lot of great
memories. Unlike a lot of other songs, whenever a Rebecca Parris song gets caught
in my head over and over, it actually makes for a better day. Recently sent
a copy of "It's Another Day" to some friends who are expecting a baby
boy in September. Told them I was dedicating your version of "Let the Flower
Grow" to their new son. What an exquisite piece.
So, when
are you playing Las Vegas? There are lots of great jazz venues out here and
we'd love to have you. Maybe a stopover on one of your frequent trips to LA
(my former hometown, as was Rhode Island my former home state.....three cheers
for both Chuck Niles and the Newport Jazz Fest). Best of luck in all your ventures......and

Hi, Whew!
This is scary. I can actually write to my favorite vocalist. I was listening
to your CD a Passionate Fling (which you personally singed for me when you were
in New Port RI at Salvia College). I just happen to type in your name on the
internet and there was this great web sight I had to get that album because
it has "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". That song has a lot of memories.
It was the theme song of our marching and bugle corps. That was along time ago.
First Time I heard you sing was with the Ken Hadley's big band. You sang at
some high school in Mass. (Trombone player was a music teacher there). I was
in the first row with tears just coming down my face as you sang that song.
Last time I saw you was at Chan's in Woonsocket last year. You sang the most
fantastic jazz version of Happy Birthday I have ever heard in my life. I never
knew that song could be jazzed up. Did you record anything with a big band?
Please let me know. I play drums in a 16 piece band and really like the big
sound. Thanks Ken

On you

Actually it is the Unitarian-Universalist Church on 28 Mugford St. It would
be nice if you could add a link to our website http://www.marbleheadjazz.org
which is dedicated strictly to you right now. I want to tell you how much we
enjoy you concerts. For a "Holiday Concert" the first one you did
was really special. Even us Jewish folks loved all the Christmas and holiday
music. You once said that if you could find a Hannuka song that wasn't just
about dreidles you might sing it. The song, Rock of Ages, is traditionally sung
at Hannuka. How about that? Best Regards, Ron rhlamkin@ieee.org or ron@marbleheadjazz.org

Once again,
thanks for your great performance this past Tuesday at JAMS in West Palm Beach.
I know Jim and James had a ball backing you--they told me so.
You'd also
be perfect for the Gold Coast Jazz Society in Ft.Lauderdale. Unfortunately getting
something done with them is akin to the mating of elephants--everything is done
at a high level, with a lot of noise and it takes a year to get results. I'll
keep you posted. MY FOOLISH HEART is even more than I expected. As a sucker
for ballads, I just knew it would be a good album. It turned out to be a GREAT
album. I say that because each time I replay it, I hear something different.
You have really grown as an artist. And of course I'll always remember your
introducing of "The Island" to me on that small NCL jazz cruise umpteen
years ago. You obviously impressed me. I'll keep in touch. Gary Jazz10s@aol

Dear Rebecca,
Are you any relation to Tony Parris? He was a singer who worked with my Dad
and Uncle (Lloyd & Bill Elliott) at Disneyland in the 50's-60's. Thankyou
very much.

Rebecca,
I discovered you by accident while searching through used CD's in a pawn shop
in Portland, Oregon in 1994. The Sring CD jumped out at me and I thought, "this
looks good". I have been a big fan ever since. I later moved back to Florida
and eventually the Keys. I was delighted to have the opportunity to hear (and
meet) you in person at Kelly's place in Key West in, I believe it was '96. What
a wonderful evening that was and you were superb. Hope all is well with you
and "Happy Holidays" to you. Steve from Sarasota, Florida

Hi Rebecca;
Love your website. Glad to hear your doing so well. I miss hearing you in L.A.
I havn't been to any clubs lately. Big changes for me in the last year. I hope
to get the chance to see you some time in the future. Havn't seen Vicki or any
of the lovely "jazz ladies" since Pedrini Music closed its doors.
I hope you have a great year! All the best to you! Your friend, Dennis Samperi

dear rebecca,
it's been much too long my love. you don't call, you don't write, whats a lonely
rebecca soulmate to do? i go to my record stores looking for you and yet still
- no trace of you. if i did not know better, i'd swear that you might be trying
to lose me. i guess you just didn't realize who you were dealing with.
o.k., enough
of the self-pity- allright, already! as they say in the movies, - allow me to
introduce myself (or in my case - re-introduce) we met one rainy cold night
in in a quaint jazz club some several years ago now, - in st. paul, minnesota.
i remember because i got in trouble that night because i was paying more attention
to you than my date. it turned out to be one of the most magical evenings of
my life -(no kidding). i'll save that epic for some other conversation some
time later. we did have the occassion to see you a couple of times since, but
you have not graced our fair city for some time. now that i have become modernized
(computer) - o.k., so i've been a little slow ... and stubborn, but i'm here.
and i am delighted to find you again. just called my favorite record store to
order "my foolish heart" and can't wait to get it so i can fall in
love again. i haven't done that yet this week so after all, what better way
than with my favorite club singer, a glass of jameson (on the rocks, of course),
a smoke and oh, let me turn the volume up just a bit. the love of my life from
that enchanted october evening resides only in my heart as we have parted (for
now?) for about 2 years now, but lately i've been experiencing an unusually
strong force that seems to be strumming my heart strings. that has been a every
day occurrence yes, but lately... allright, already, who is this you are wondering.
o.k., the suspense is killing me too. i'm jesse, and the lady was tess. we were
blessed that evening by your voice at the dakota - in st. paul, and those evenings
will be etched FOREVER in this man's heart and soul. and i'm sure tess will
have similar, if not identical sentiments. we love you rebecca, and miss you
even more. i ordered 2 copies of your newest cd, and i thought it might make
a wonderful valentines gift to a certain soulmate of mine (anonymously, of course).
as if she won't know - right? anyways, it is great, - no wait , it is fabulous,
to see you again (website photos) and i will be keeping close tabs on your schedule
and when i might be able to take a 'road trip' to come give a warm embrace to
my ALL TIME jazz club singer (i've never really enjoyed concert halls much for
intimate jazz), and indulge myself with those dulcid tones once again. and somehow,
no matter what time of year it is, - it will be a rainy cold night in october
- all over again... dig? be well rebecca - you are a blessing. with real love
(as only passionate jazzers can give), jesse p.s. after all of this, i sure
hope you even remember me.

Ms. Parris,
I had the opportunity to hear you perform at Kelly's in Key West several years
ago (it may have been as long as six years ago, actually) and I was inspired
by your presence and your sense of craft. I'm a jazz singer as well and I'm
working every day to learn more. Folks like yourself are an inspiration. I'm
looking at NEC for grad school. Maybe I'll see you around. Thanks for sharing
your gift. I'm looking forward to buying some of your recordings. Peace, Love,

down there to do a showcase with a very good Key West resident (if there is
such a thing...) friend of mine. Perhaps you'd like to join us. I know I'm dreaming,

and wrote down his announcement so I wouldn't forget in the morning! I finally
got off my duff and actually ordered "Live at Chan's". Now I'm intrigued.
It won't be long before I have all of her albums, I'm sure. Ms. Paris needs
to visit the South, or at least St. Louis (Jazz at the Bistro). I'm glad to

Rebecca,
I am involved
with some folks here in Nashville who have a jazz education school called The
Nashville Jazz Workshop. It's a not-for-profit organization, and they have mostly
serious adult students, many of whom have careers or are beginning to gig around.
You might be interested in seeing their web site. The school has recently sponsored
Jeff Hamilton in a workshop situation. Jamie Abersold and several others have
done clinics there. The jazz community here is large (surprising for many outsiders)
and the level of professionalism here is astounding. Would you be interested
in doing a clinic or workshop here? We could get you a public gig as well. Let
me know. You can reach me at: Bluffdweller4@aol.com Sincerely, Jimmy Vickers

I loved

which shows that you are secure in what you do. You don't find that a lot in
this arena. I saw you at the East Coast Jazz Festival about two years ago and
you were wonderful. I am a vocalist here in D.C. I have only been singing for
seven years. I've had a co-stage at the festival for the past 5 years. I'm going
out to get your CD with the ballads right away. As any vocalist knows, ballads
are more difficult to sing than any other type song. I have learned a lot about
"laying back" but certainly can learn much more. I would like to get
some tips from you about how to get a club date. I have contacted a lot of places
in this area and they ask you to send a tape or video which they never listen
to or look at because they get so many. Jacqui Simmons jshortsimmons@aol.com

It was
5 years ago when my partner and I first met in a poetry forum online. I was
living in Texas, she in Boston. A couple of months after we connected, I received
a surprise package of "all things Boston." Included with a Boston
tourist videotape and a book of the city was a CD of her favorite local Jazz
artist, Rebecca Parris. The CD was Loves Comes and Goes, and attached was a
note that read "Play #5 and think of me." Number 5 was "You Are
There".
On March
8th, 1997, we met face to face in Virginia Beach for the first time. The occasion
was to celebrate my 40th birthday. The CD made the trip. Our meeting turned
out to be the four most incredible days of my life, and I came to realize that
life really does begin at 40. Six months later I made the move to Boston. Since
then, we've been fortunate enough to catch your performances on Jazz Harbor
cruises and at Scullers. Last night she surprised me with the news that next
week, on March 8th, exactly 5 years to the day that we met, we'll be in the
audience of your 7:30 show at the Regatta Bar. It would mean more than you know
if you could perform "You Are There" or "So I Love You,"
or just about anything from the Love Comes and Goes CD. If you can't, could
you just wish Joette & Deb a Happy Anniversary? Thanks so very much and
keep on "scattin'!" Deb Johnson Framingham, MA enjoyzcoke@aol.com

Hi Rebecca,
I read a review of "My Foolish Heart" in Jazztimes or Downbeat and
thought I should check it out. I absolutely loved it. I'm a big vocalist fan
(Sarah, Carmen, Abbey, Dee Dee, Cassandra, Nina, Shirley Horn, Kitty M.,Diane
Reeves...love those ladies!) and always love finding a new great singer. I am
really enjoying many turns of the new balled CD.I've been exploring your other
albums and am enjoying them also. I grew up in Brockton, MA, and have lived
in York, Maine for the last 18 years. I am buying an Inn and moving to Weston,VT
in 6 weeks. Poor timing for becoming a Rebecca Parris fan. (www.wilderhomestead.com)
Probably changing the name to the Judge Wilder Inn. Please come visit some day.
Weston is beautiful. May someday organize a vocal series at the Weston Playhouse
(that's my big dream after I master innkeeping!) You may hear from me someday
in that regard and perhaps remember this email. Good luck in your endeavors
and congratulations on your recent successes. Paul Mazgelis, York Maine then

that this year's performance on July 6 also happens to be Fran's birthday. If
you have time to fit your own rendition of Happy Birthday to Fran into the evening's
repertoire you will make Fran the happiest woman in the whole wide world. Truth
be told, Fran has always had a huge crush on you, so you can only imagine how
she will melt if you sing to her. We will be sitting on the lawn as close to

which happens to be one of my favorites anyway. You were so fabulous, unique
and soulful that I immediately called me sister, long-distance, and told her
about you. We are both huge music fans, AND have impeccable taste! Your interpretation

and reviews so I knew the best places to begin! then I found your page! I must
tell you - when I first read the album notes-- I was a bit put off by the quasi
- dis of the "unamed" female a jazz singer that is so popular currently
because I love her stuff--- and at first listening to your CD I struggled a
bit with slow pace of the songs at first---but after listening again --I realised
the pace issue was mine! I needed to remember how to totally chill! I appreciate
your wonderful music-- and style. I look forward to following your carreer from
this point of discovery on-- I am also a fan of Kurt Elling-- whom I discovered
by a fluke too-- SO glad to know such great American Jazz is out there -- Sally

Ms. Parris:
I heard you for the first time tonight on Temple University Public Radio station
WRTI. I am a singer and was absolutely awestruck by your voice. It is so supple
and smoky and nuanced. I heard the announcer ( jazz disc jockey supreme, Bob
Perkins, better known as "B.P. with the G.M."(Bob Perkins with the
good music) say that you'll be appearing at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in
November. I'll be there! I can't wait. You can catch some sound clips of my
first CD (I'm currently working on a second of all Michel Legrand material)
at www.theatrefest.com/claudiabeechman. If you do have a chance to listen, you'll
see that I am not a jazz singer. However, I love good jazz singers ( Johnny
Hartman is one of my favorites), blues singers, opera singers, folk singers,
Brazilian singers; as Duke Ellington said, "If it sounds good, it IS good!"

Hi Rebecca:
Stopped
by for a virtual coffee before work! I missed seeing you this year at Interplay
(Osama is primarily to blame) but am still hard at it and playing a lot. Hope
to see you before next year one way or another... Love and peace, Wil Steward
