Other key Publications/Productions

I am founder and host of "The Singer's Muse" podcast on WGJC.org; a guest writer for JazzTimes, JazzEd, Journal of Singing, and Classical Singer Magazine; and an Editorial Board member for the "Jazz Education in Research and Practice" journal. I have performed, arranged, produced, and released five jazz albums as leader and have been a headlining jazz singer/composer/arranger for three decades. I am currently writing my next book, "Jazz Voice: A Guide to Singing Pedagogy" (Rowman & Littlefield 2021).

My interests in jazz are:

Singing and recording, jazz theory and analysis, Great American Songbook, standards, songwriting, jazz history, jazz piano, jazz biographies, jazz pedagogy.

More about what I do:

Holding a doctorate in jazz from the University of Southern California, I have taught jazz at 8 universities plus several more as a visiting artist-in-residence. I've been a touring jazz performing artist for 30+ years and accept commissions to write and arrange jazz concerts worldwide. I write a jazz theory column called "Anatomy of a Standard" (over 1 million pageviews) at All About Jazz. I presented a lecture recital at the inaugural "Documenting Jazz" conference in Dublin, Ireland in 2019 and a research presentation at the 2021 JEN Conference.

I support the JJA because

I believe in spreading the appreciation and understanding of jazz. I treasure jazz as America's indigenous art form and one of my most important modes of personal expression.
