Dayna Kurtz, Vicki Randle

Dayna Kurtz’s propensity for musical rule-breaking was forged early in life, and she was still in her teens when she began performing her compositions in public. After releasing the low-key live disc Otherwise Luscious Life, she won considerable acclaim for her impressively accomplished studio efforts. Vicki Randle, a native San Franciscan was born into a musical family, her father a jazz pianist and her brother, Tom Randle an opera singer. In fact, her mother’s baby shower took place at the Oakland club that her father was accompanying Billie Holiday in.
