Jay Clayton: Believing in The Word

Read "Jay Clayton: Believing in The Word" reviewed by Suzanne Lorge


Jay Clayton's career as a singer defies easy classification. True, she most often sings jazz, but she's also collaborated with two of the most prominent modern composers of art music--Steve Reich and John Cage.

Read "All Out" reviewed by Marcia Hillman

Jay Clayton: Brooklyn 2000

Read "Brooklyn 2000" reviewed by Dave Nathan


Jay Clayton is a vocal treasure and has been since 1963, when she started a career which has successfully blended two vocal roles, cutting edge avant-garde, where her voice is truly an instrument--an instrument one has heretofore not encountered--and a more conventional, but not completely so, interpreter of major works from the Great American Songbook.
