Wild Blue Herons are excited to be returning to Vernon Jazz Club with Rene Worst (bass) and Buff Allen (drums). Vernon Jazz Club - Wild Blue Herons

Wild Blue Herons (WBH) are the magnetic husband-and-wife duo of Bill Sample (piano/keys) and Darlene Cooper (vocals).  They embrace a broad sound which runs from groove oriented jazz with a pop/gospel twist (reminiscent of Joe Sample and Lalah Hathaway) to intimate ballads by the great ladies of jazz.  

 Bill’s emotional, playful and meticulous accompaniment added to Darlene’s “rich stunning vocals, where every note is delivered flawlessly” (Tom Haugen, Take Effect ) create a warm and mesmerizing synergy. 

 Sharing a particularly passion for song stylist, Nancy Wilson, they tug on your heart strings through their beautiful spin and storytelling.

  “Pure emotion… a full on listening experience that sizzles deceptively” (Chris Spector, Midwest Record)
