“Astounding, flawless, captivating.” --The New York Times “Peggy Lee meets Fats Waller meets Paula Poundstone.” -- Newsday Grammy nominated pianist/vocalist/songwriter/radio host, Judy Carmichael, is one of the world’s leading interpreters of stride and swing piano.  Count Basie famously nicknamed Judy “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.   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.”  Judy has taken this infectious style of music and her equally infectious personality everywhere from posh nightclubs in Paris and Melbourne to Carnegie Hall and a Rio concert for ten thousand Brazilians; from Arundel Castle (where she opened for the London Philharmonic) to Castle Fraser for the National Trust of Scotland at the behest of longtime fan, Sir Cameron Mackintosh.  Judy’s been featured on, NPR’s Morning Edition, Entertainment Tonight, CBS' Sunday Morning, CNN’s Business Unusual, and numerous radio and TV shows across the globe.  Judy Carmichael’s Jazz Inspired, which Judy hosts, produces and created, is celebrating 26 years on NPR stations across the country and podcasts everywhere but Mars, although it might be there too. We’re checking with Elon.   Judy has written two music books on stride piano and numerous articles about jazz.  Her memoir, Swinger! A Jazz Girl’s Adventures from Hollywood to Harlem was published in January 2018 and her book, Great Inspirations: 22 Years of Jazz Inspired on NPR was published in September 2022. www.judycarmichael.com     www.jazzinspired.com All GA sections (Main Floor GA & Miles Davis Mezzanine) will be seated by host and are first come, first served (other than where a reserved sign is posted to table).  If you require special seating, please call the venue for accommodations no later than 48 hours prior to show date.
