At what point does a “rising star” simply become a star? At only 27 years old, Swift is the latest jazz musician to blur those lines. She’s one of the hottest vocalists of the moment, and her varied ambitions suggest that will be true for a long time to come. Though she’s a mighty jazz singer by any measurement, Swift also stands out for her exceptional skills at vocalese and improvised scat singing, uncommon traits for a modern jazz vocalist of any age.

Across a range of originals and reimagined classics (primarily, but not exclusively, from jazz and the Great American Songbook), Swift and her first-rate band exhibit great showmanship and technical prowess, while also maintaining a high level of musicality and engaging storytelling. Don’t miss this chance to catch another great vocalist at our revamped Spring Jazz Festival while she’s still, depending upon who you ask, a “rising star.”
