Grammy-nominated jazz pianist/vocalist Judy Carmichael will have audiences dancing in the aisles with high-energy interpretations of the Great American Songbook, witty original compositions, and hilarious between-song patter: think Randy Newman meets Peggy Lee! From swinging romps on Cole Porter and Harold Arlen to sultry takes on Gershwin and Ellington, an evening with Judy is a don’t miss, joy-filled experience! Count Basie himself nicknamed her “Stride” in reference to her mastery of that early piano style popularized by Thomas “Fats” Waller, Count Basie and James P. Johnson. Judy’s music and wit have been featured on A Prairie Home Companion, Entertainment Tonight, CNN, NPR and weekly on her Podcast/NPR show Judy Carmichael’s Jazz Inspired… celebrating over 23 years on stations across the country! Available in solo, duo (with guitar), trio (adding sax), and larger configurations, withmasterclasses/residencies/workshops available on request. Let’s SWING!
