Michelle Walker
Performs Live @ THE BAR NEXT DOOR
MONDAY July 16, 2007
New York, NY - Critically acclaimed jazz vocalist, Michelle Walker, will perform in concert at the intimate stage of The BAR NEXT DOOR in its widely respected jazz lounge. She will be performing on Monday July 16, 2007 with sets throughout the night starting promptly at 8:00pm. Michelle has spent the past few years amassing an impressive musical resume of concert and festival performances, including The Lincoln Center-Women in Jazz Festival, The Silver Spring Jazz Festival, Goshen Jazz Festival and The Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival.
Michelle is often compared to Cassandra Wilson, Nina Simone and Betty Carter in style and tone. She has opened in concert for Wynton Marsalis, Rene Marie, Terrell Stafford, Chris Botti, George Benson and Mark Murphy. Her arrangements of straight-ahead standards and contemporary pop tunes blend genres effortlessly and with an undeniable level of originality that is solidifying her own distinctive sound. Dave Nathan at All About Jazz says, “Walker sings with an extraordinary degree of musicality."
The Bar Next Door is one of the smaller and most intimate settings for serious jazz in Manhattan...[and]...is a perfect setting to enjoy richly textured music. The Bar Next Door has been home to some of the most outstanding musicians, instrumental and vocal, working today.
