Dozo My Lady is an exciting trio performing an eclectic mix of music focusing on jazz but equally proficient in pop, rock and bar room standards. This Buffalo New York trio was formed by Carolyn Lansom (vocals, percussion) and Dave Lansom (upright bass, vocals) in 2010 while living in Japan. Hence the use of the name Dozo. It is a Japanese word said when you hold the door open for someone. Dozo My Lady means, "Please go ahead, my lady". With the addition of Greg Skulicz (guitar, vocals, melodica) in 2013 the group evolved into a consistently engaging, versatile act that is pleasing audiences across Western New York.
Our group was voted the favorite jazz and pop group for the 2023 Jazz Buffalo Readers poll.
Carolyn’s impressive multifaceted vocals are perfectly supported by Greg’s jazz, gypsy, and rock stylings. Holding down the low end Dave’s solid bass technique rounds out the mix.
From intimate venues such as Pausa, and The Terrace at Delaware Park to jazz festivals and large events this dynamic trio presents a captivating, and well-rehearsed performance. A Dozo My Lady show will feature selections made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Van Morrison, The Beatles, The Temptations, Buck Owens, and Norah Jones just to name a few.
Catch them at their monthly Jazz Night at the Buffalo Distilling Company every 2nd Friday, or on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DozoMyLady/.
