About This Event

Grammy-nominated pianist and vocalist/songwriter/radio host, Judy Carmichael, is one of the world’s leading interpreters of stride and swing piano. Count Basie nicknamed her “Stride,” for conquering this technically and physically demanding early jazz piano style and celebrated jazz writer, Gary Giddins sagely observed the ironic fact that “the last man standing, in this private, competitive domain, is a woman.” Pianist. Singer. Songwriter. Raconteuse.  

“. . . astounding, flawless, captivating.”  -- The New York Times

America’s Jazz Times says: “Judy Carmichael exhibits a truly remarkable ability to channel Peggy Lee's breathy invitingness and her befogged insouciance.  Additionally, she echoes the intense perspicacity of the solo albums of Annie Ross.  In other words, Judy winningly blends two of the all-time finest, most intuitive jazz singers.”
