Chance

By

Chance is a coming together of two musicians with wildly diverse backgrounds. It was in 1986 that vocalist Cheryl Leah, steeped in the worlds of R+B and Jazz and having recorded and performed with Jazz legends Herbie Hancock and Mirislov Vitous, joined forces with cellist Edward Willett who was newly emerging from the University of Southern California, one of the worlds leading conservatories. Their resulting musical experiment has remained as vibrant and unparalleled as the day they launched it twenty four years ago. They joined Stephanie Elkins on Simply folk for some music and conversation, in a room full of a loud cooling system that can be heard in the background.
