Do you miss playing jazz classics? Female Boomer vocalist seeks acoustical guitarist, pianist, or other musician to have fun singing1940s through 1970s jazz including Latino and Brazilian standards in Miami area. Think Sarah Vaughn, Diane Krall, Getz, Gilberto, Cleo Lane, Jon Hendricks. I currently sing in a small band with infrequent rehearsals and would like more singing action. Love learning new stuff. Although I also perform in a classical chorale, for me singing jazz is not about rote perfection, but rather the simpler things of life: enjoying rehearsing, connecting, and adding new twists to old arrangements.

Musical Influences & Inspiration

My dad was a jazz nut and I grew up listening to Mills Brothers, Billie Eckstein, and Ella. I loved the later classics (Brubeck) and fell in love with Brazilian and fusion jazz of the 70s. Sang folk with ex. Fave singers are noted in previous section. Eclectic musical interests run from Indian to classical. My current goal is to put together solid jazz for fun and performance. 'Am willing to commit solid time to rehearsals, or, as second choice, sing occasionally for just fun.
