Mary Foster Conklin

Born:

Praised as “a potent advocate for women in jazz,” NYC-based Mary Foster Conklin has hosted a weekly radio show called “A Broad Spectrum – the Ladies of Jazz” celebrating women composers and lyricists since 2016 on WFDU 89.1 FM based at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey, streaming on the HD2 Channel at http://www.wfdu.fm.  

She has taught several workshops on radio submission for singers and recently was a participant on the Jukebox Jury panel at the 2024 JALC Jazz Congress.  As a vocalist, she is a master storyteller with an affinity for uncovering hidden gems deserving attention. Her fifth and most recent recording, These Precious Days (MockTurtle Music), was praised as “a treasure” by JAZZLIVES and “A winning new collection of songs… by a vocalist equally effective on suspects usual and otherwise,” JAZZTIMES.
