About Baby Blue Sound Collective
The History of the Baby Blue Sound Collective:
Beginning in ~2003, Professor Robert H. Anderson, MD, a internationally known cardiac morphologist, as well as classical pianist, began to incorporate classical musical recitals during the annual pediatric cardiology meeting in London: “Cardiology in the Young”. The performers were typically lecturers and instructors in the course, and the performances were predominantly classical in nature, always acoustic, and always popular.
In 2006, Gil Wernovsky, MD was honored as the Bonham Carter Lecturer at the course, which was dedicated to celebrating the career of Professor Marc de Leval, a renowned pediatric heart surgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Bob learned of Gil’s interest in jazz and pop music, and introduced him to Karen Harrington, MD – a pediatric critical care specialist visiting London from Montreal, and an accomplished vocalist. Together, they performed a few songs to “roast” and celebrate Professor de Leval. This marked the first time that non-classical music was performed at Cardiology in the Young, and the seeds of the BBSC were born.
The name was modified by the joining of forces from another group of clinicians performing in San Francisco which included Dr. Tom Karl, a pediatric heart surgeon, and Dr. Lisa Hornberger, a specialist in pediatric and fetal echocardiography. Tom and Gil were both on the faculty in Cardiology in the Young in 2007, and introduced a jazz element to the meeting.
Over the years, a number of physicians, nurses, therapists and other personnel caring for children with heart disease—who were also interested in music—learned of “The Collective” and the group gradually changed, morphing into the current iteration of the BBSC. The backbone of the group was solidified by formation of a stable rhythm section (cardiologists prefer stable rhythms) with the addition of Dr. Jeffrey Boris, an ambulatory cardiologist in Philadelphia and multitalented musician playing bass (principally), guitar and piano, as well as the addition of drummer Craig Kahn, a Boston native and current resident of Los Angeles.
Two clinicians from The Mayo Clinic – heart surgeon (and tenor saxophonist) Dr. Joseph Dearani and Respiratory Therapist (and pianist) Bryan Wattier are members of a jazz group based in Rochester, Minnesota, “Take Two”, and joined the collective in 2008 and 2009. Dr. Richard Donner, an ambulatory cardiologist and tenor/baritone sax player, rounded out the saxophone section. A number of vocalists, horn players, percussionists and string ensemble players have joined in over the years.
Finally, members of BBSC have periodically joined forces with WOOSAH, a rock and roll band composed primarily of pediatric cardiac practitioners based in St. Petersburg, Florida; specifically all three heart surgeons in the Congenital Heart Institute of Florida – Drs. Jim Quintessenza, Jeff Jacobs and Paul Chai.
Thus, “The Collective” is truly that: “parts assembled into or viewed as a whole.” The BBSC currently performs at many of the pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery medical conferences throughout the USA and Europe: the personnel of the band is different for each and every performance, and primarily depends upon who is on the course faculty at the particular meeting. The song lists and genres vary greatly, including classical, jazz, pop, musical theater, blues and rock.
