TUESDAY | April 16, 2019 | 7:30pm | Judy's Birthday Bash

 

Judy Wexler has performed at jazz festivals, performing arts centers, and top jazz venues around the country. She has released four CDs that have charted in the Top 10 on the national JazzWeek radio chart as well as receiving critical acclaim, including 4-stars in Downbeat and a profile on NPR Weekend Edition. She is releasing her 5th CD, “Crowded Heart,” in June 2019, which features a collection of “new jazz standards” by some of the finest jazz writers on the current scene, including Fred Hersch, Gregory Porter, and Luciana Souza. Noted jazz historian Ted Gioia says of the album, “What a joy to listen to this album, both for the exquisite music-making of Judy Wexler and Alan Pasqua, but also for their astuteness in finding and featuring outstanding songs by current-day jazz composers. Highly recommended!”

Known for her inventive interpretations of underexposed gems, Judy will preview songs from her upcoming album and present a diverse mix of songs by jazz and pop legends, including King Pleasure, Sonny Rollins, Blossom Dearie, Richie Havens, and Carole King. With a pliably warm, lustrous sound, she has been cited repeatedly by critics as having the rare ability to find the essential truth of a song.

“Based on the evidence, Judy Wexler can sing anything.” – Susan Stamberg, NPR Weekend Edition

“Judy Wexler is more than a mere singer of songs; she’s an actress, mood painter, song archaeologist and vocalist par excellence.”
– All About Jazz

“There’s a marvelous clarity about Judy Wexler and her ability to strip a song, any song, to its bare essence, fully capturing its spirit and soul without an ounce of pretense or affectation.” – JazzTimes Magazine

“She has an instinctive ability to bring out the best in each song, often taking them into unexpected territory.” – All Music Guide
