Kitano Jazz: Michelle Walker + 3 Amazing Jazz Cats February 22, 2007

Occasionally there comes along an artist that commands your attention. A sound that seems to transcends any particular genre. One that causes the listener to pause and take notice. For the modern Jazz world that artist is without question vocalist Michelle Walker. Daughter of an Army Captain and busy housewife, Michelle was born the fifth child of six. Being a part of a large family during the 1970’s who fashioned themselves as the next family group like The Jackson Five or The Osmonds, she developed finely tuned ears for notes and rhythm. According to her sister Lynnise Rivers, “Michelle stood out from us for her ability to take songs apart, developing each vocal part and learning to reproduce the sounds she heard.”

Please join Michelle and 3 Amazing Jazz Cats, Daniela Schachter (piano), Oleg Osenkov (bass) and Quincy Davis (drums) at Kitano Jazz this Thurdsay. No cover charge. Great food and bevs available.
