Vocalist Roberta Gambarini brought her trademark swing and rambunctious vocalese to the Dakota this week. The climate on stage was as hot as the outdoor Arctic air mass was cold, which explains the steam rising to the rafters. And this was not just all about Roberta but much credit goes to her quartet, all monsters on their own terms -- Justin Robinson, George Cables, Ray Drummond and Victor Lewis.
