| Steph is one of the most versatile singers out there. She can do cabaret, trad, swing, bop and vocalese - just about anything you want - and is great at tailoring a show to your desires. Drawing on her considerable knowledge of the vocal tradition and a vast repertoire of songs, she does a lot of theme shows, e.g. Great Ladies of American Song, tributes to Mercer and Mancini, etc. Her June Christy Tribute concerts have wowed audiences at the Jazz West Coast and New Jersey Jazz festivals, and she did a whole week of concerts with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, using the original Pete Rugulo charts June used with Stan Kenton ( which Pete gave her! ). Steph's recent VSOP CD of Christy tunes, Lullaby in Rhythm, was called her best ever by the late jazz critic Joel Siegel and her newest CD, Thrush Hour (I Love You, a beautiful ballads CD, was released only in Japan), was named one of the top 8 CDs of the year by Herb Wong. Steph's book, It's Not On The Page, a must-read for aspiring vocalists, has made her much in demand for clinics, too. Also see Special Projects |
