Biography
Cow Bop, formed in 2003 by internationally acclaimed guitarist Bruce Forman is the very best of a little known category called Cowboy Jazz and Western Bee Bop. Mix swinging extended grooves, thrilling harmonic improvisations, sweet vocals and tons of on stage fun and you have only begun to describe Cow Bop.
The group consisted of Bruce Forman up front on guitar drawing you in with memories of a Wes Montgomery, Pat Matheny and Django Reinhardt all mixed into one. The small in stature, big on sound Kristen Korb on stand up base keeping a tight Ray Brown influenced groove filled bottom and intermittently teasing you with Ella type scatting during her solos. Fiddler (violinist), Phil Salazar dazzling the room with a Bluegrass provincialism that made you think that Bill Monroe and Stephane Grappelli were both in the room. Pinto Pammy on vocals showcasing a variety of moods, shades and tones and constantly reminding you “That There’s No Place Like Home”.
