Roberta Donnay

Musicians can take on the role of anthropologist, curious about what came before in music and how musicians reflected their world around them. Award- winning vocalist and songwriter Roberta Donnay is that rare species of musician who almost lives in another time, as she and her Prohibition Mob Band exist to revive the Jazz Age of America.

After two very enjoyable CDs of music from the 1920s-30s, Roberta Donnay and her Prohibition Mob Band continue their exploration of early jazz and swing with a tribute to one of the most influential figures in all of jazz. Donnay is possibly the first female singer to record a full-length project devoted exclusively to Louis Armstrong.

For My Heart Belongs To Satchmo, Roberta Donnay & the Prohibition Mob Band revive 15 songs from Armstrong's career. Avoiding the obvious hits, Donnay performs both superior obscurities and personal favorites.

"'My Heart Belongs To Satchmo' is such a joyful project for me," adds Donnay, "I wanted to capture the heart of Satchmo and the love that we have of his music." Ms. Donnay, her arrangers, and the musicians of the Prohibition Mob Band succeed at paying a loving tribute to the great Satchmo.

Donnay Formula 100 Hexacore Racquet Review

Donnay is aiming to be one of the arm-friendliest racquet companies on the market and with each update to their lines, the RA is going down. Here is a Pure Drive-inspired racquet with a stiffness in the high 50s. How does it play? Read this Donnay Formula 100 Hexacore Racquet Review to find out.

I have been reviewing a couple of Donnay frames recently and what is obvious with their line of racquets is that they are lowering the stiffness rating with every single generation. The Formula racquet, which is basically a Pure Drive imitation with a thick beam, has gone from an RA rating of 69 in 2012 to 57(!) with the Hexacore edition. There are not many racquets on today’s market with a stiffness under 60. So I was happy to do this Donnay Formula 100 Hexacore racquet review.

The risk with reducing the stiffness so much is that the racquet becomes anemic and doesn’t give the player any extra power. Somehow that is not the case with the Formula 100 Hexacore. It plays more like a stiffness around 62, which lands in Babolat Soft Drive territory (one of my fave frames as you might remember) and I…

Donnay X-Dual 99 Silver Racquet Review

You might be asking yourselves: “Why another Donnay racquet review?” Well, I had a bunch of Donnays to review and so far I really like them. There will be other racquets on Tennisnerd soon, but first, here is the Donnay X-Dual Silver 99 Racquet Review.

The Donnay X-Dual Silver 99 is not a new racquet. There is a Penta edition called the Donnay Penta Silver 99 and has similar specs, but an even lower stiffness rating. Also, the color is black on that one and not the nice, shiny silver of the X-Dual 99.

What stands out most about the Donnay X-Dual 99 Silver besides the sharp design, is the thin beam. This racquet line is for people who want to slice and dice their opponents and move in towards the net to finish the point. It is a touch racquet with a good comfort that invites you to hit droppers on a whim and my favorite shot with it is the backhand slice as this racquet really carves through the air like a knife.
