Miss Justine has long personified just what Jazz singing is all about, and remains one of the singular interpreters of song and an inspiration to many vocalists in the region and beyond. Miss Justine, who will be accompanied by pianist Tom Lawton, bassist Lee Smith and drummer Jim Miller, has worked with dozens of Jazz giants over the years, including Billy Eckstine, Shirley Scott, Kenny Barron, Lionel Hampton, Johnny Hartman and McCoy Tyner. One music writer summed up Miss Justine's career thusly: Justine is a beloved member of the Philadelphia jazz scene, and she keeps getting better and better.
The Jazz Bridge Neighborhood Concerts Series is partially funded by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Philadelphia Jazz Project, Philadelphia Fund for Jazz Legacy and Innovation of the Philadelphia Foundation, and Painted Bride Arts Center. Jazz Bridge, a 501C public charity that assists area jazz and blues musicians in crisis, is sponsoring this performance in Collingswood as well as 40 other events this season on five area stages in the Greater Delaware Valley.
