Joan Morris

Joan Morris (born February 10, 1943) is an American mezzo-soprano[1] and cabaret singer.

[2] Their recordings for Nonesuch, RCA, Columbia and Arabesque include songs by the great songwriters of the 1920s and 30s such as Kern, Gershwin, Porter, and Rodgers and Hart.

They also have performed and recorded songs by the rock-and-roll team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

Morris' performance style is nuanced and vibrant, and she is noted for honoring original versions of songs with historical accuracy.

In early 2015 she announced that she and Bolcom would begin to curtail both the length and number of their concerts, offering the next year as an ad hoc "Farewell Tour" after which they would limit performances to "cameo appearances".
