Judy Carmichael - "Swinger" Tickets

Sexy Songs, Swinging Standards & Lovely Laments. Grammy-nominated pianist/vocalist/songwriter/radio host, Judy Carmichael, is one of the world’s leading interpreters of stride and swing piano. Count Basie nicknamed her “Stride,” for conquering this technically and physically demanding early jazz piano style, and jazz writer, Gary Giddins, sagely observed–about Carmichael’s place in the historically male- dominated world of swing piano–“How ironic that the last man standing is a woman.” Judy has taken this infectious style of music and her equally infectious personality everywhere from posh nightclubs in Paris and Melbourne to Carnegie Hall and a Rio concert for ten thousand Brazilians; from Arundel Castle opening for the London Philharmonic to Castle Fraser for the National Trust of Scotland at the behest of longtime fan, Sir Cameron Mackintosh.
