Performs @ Smoke Jazz Club
Sunday March 18, 2007

No Cover, Drink Minimum
As a singer deeply rooted in tradition and as one of the new leading lights of jazz vocals, acclaimed singer Michelle Walker brings her rich arrangements, electrifying band and unique style of jazz to one of New York City's best jazz clubs. She will perform in concert at Smoke Jazz Club on Sunday March 18, 2007 from 6:00pm-8:00pm. Michelle's resume has a number of prestigious concerts and festival performances, including The Lincoln Center-Women in Jazz Festival, The Silver Spring Jazz Festival, The East Coast 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 a undeniable level of originality that is solidifying her own distinctive sound. Dave Nathan at AllAboutJazz.com says, “Walker demonstrates an extraordinary degree of musicality."
The essence of SMOKE is great live music in someone's living room. It's like a house party with the best jazz musicians alive today, hanging out and doing what they love, jamming. Early Sunday evenings are no different as they come alive with featured jazz vocalists. Joining Michelle will be The Daniela Schaechter Trio.
