My Jazz Story
Julie Lyon grew up with many and varied musical influences but from a very young age knew that she wanted to be a singer.
She studied piano and voice from age 15 through college, earning a bachelor’s degree in vocal performance. Classically trained
and reared on pop, rock and blues, the draw of the vocal jazz greats, Sarah Vaughan, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and many
others, opened the door to a world in which Ms. Lyon is now at the top of her game. Initially fronting the premier jazz quartet
in Orlando, Florida, Ms. Lyon and her drummer/husband/partner Tom Cabrera pulled up stakes, settled in the New York
metropolitan area and assembled a quintet of remarkable musicians for their Unseen Rain Records release.
Ms. Lyon’s composing, arranging, improvising and lyric writing emerge from her seemingly disparate influences. Her
quartet/quintet is performing at jazz clubs, festivals and everywhere single malt scotch is available. Current and future projects
include a duo release with pianist Bob Rodriguez, Poemas del Hogar; a collection of music based on the poems of Juan Cabrera
and more recordings with her own ensemble.
