Kosut presented the original Oscar Brown Jr. tribute CD release during 2007 at venues around the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. The show and CD received awards and national recognition. At her Jazz at Pearl’s show in November 2006, Maggie Brown, Oscar’s daughter, gave her full support to the project by coming in from Chicago to sit in and sing with Kosut.
Kosut, a San Francisco jazz/cabaret vocalist and nightclub entertainer whose eclectic repertoire covers jazz to pop to cabaret, deftly and effortlessly moves from one genre to another. A distinctive warm, dark sound and that rare talent to tell a story through a song's poetic images, combined with a smart wit, Kosut can hold her audience spellbound. So at ease on stage and with her audience, she makes a tune distinctly her own.
Kosut has been performing to steady acclaim on the cabaret scenes of New York and the San Francisco Bay Area for several year. Her 2003 debut solo CD, Life Is But a Dream, was selected as one of the top female vocalist CDs of 2003 by Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline Online in New York. Kosut recently performed her cabaret show My Own Kind of Hat! to excellent reviews at The Gardenia in Los Angeles, The Encore in New York and San Francisco’s Plush Room and Octavia Lounge. She has appeared in many other San Francisco Bay Area jazz and cabaret venues including the legendary nightclub The Purple Onion, the Zingari Lounge at The Donatello Hotel, Cosmopolitan Café, Café de la Presse, Club Jazz Nouveau and Café La Note in Berkeley. Kosut was a co-founder of the San Francisco vocal trio The Kitchenettes, known for their swinging jazz renditions of food- and lust-related songs, before their break-up to pursue solo careers.
