Vocalist, Wendy Vernon-Dzaman, an honors voice graduate from Mohawk College in Hamilton, Canada, began as a student of opera under the direction of noted international impresario Leta Classen. Jazz voice quickly became her first love, as she starting getting more calls to sing with local groups in the jazz clubs and resorts in and around Hamilton. Soon Wendy was studying with jazz greats, Terry Basom and Dave McMurdo. Wendy is not just another pretty voice; she has recently been accepted at Denver University where she is pursuing a BA degree in a new and innovative program, Law and Society.
Charles King, a versatile performer with extensive experience coast to coast singing with bands and as a solo artist, has joined the Windjammers Jazz Orchestra. In 1989, Charles King left "legitimate" theatre and ventured into a career that would take him from Las Vegas to Rome, Italy, to cruise ships and a private performance for the President of The United States. Drawing upon nearly 20 years of musical training, character development and a natural talent he is comfortable as Frank Sinatra, as Elvis, and of course, Dean Martin.
The Windjammers Jazz Orchestra has performed for 10th Mountain Division Reunion, Race for the Cure, Ft. Logan Memorial and Veterans Day Ceremonies, Littleton Firefighters Ball, Littleton Historical Museum, Denver Art Museum, Capitol Hill People's Fair, National Federation of the Blind, U.S. Air Force, American Diabetes Foundation, and many corporate and private functions.
