Today, Banu (bah'new) Gibson stands virtually at the top of her field. A
superior and swinging jazz singer, Banu is one of the few vocalists of
her generation to maintain exclusive loyalty to songs of the 1920s,
'30s, and '40s. Rather than mimic singers of the past, she mixes fresh
renditions of Tin Pan Alley standards and jazz classics by Gershwin,
Ellington, Berlin, Carmichael, Waller, Porter, et al. A powerful force
on stage as well as on her CDs on the Swing Out label, her enthusiasm
and showmanship are highlighted by her wide range and versatility.
