Although Karen Souza’s voice seems to be made for Jazz, her career began under different pseudonyms, writing songs and providing vocals to several electronic music producers, which made her part of many House hits, included in numerous records as prestigious as Pacha Ibiza, FTV (Fashion TV), Paris Dernier, Hotel Costes and Privé, among others.

Elizabeth Tomboulian

With experience as a solo artist and band leader since the Texas Bar days of the 70s, I enjoy recording, arranging, teaching, and facilitating improvisation in the style of Rhiannon and Bobby McFerrin, two of my teachers. My career has taken me to New Orleans, Nashville, San Francisco, Boulder, Denton, Houston, Wisconsin, Montevideo, Japan, and now I'm digging the scene in NYC. I love project work designing CD covers, books, and other publications, having 20 years experience with Adobe software. Teaching is becoming more rewarding as I'm now enjoying planting seeds, nurturing them, then detaching from outcomes, which is great when students have a wide range of personal investment in study.

Maureen Washington

She slips easily from sassy to sexy within a single line of lyrics, at times echoing the haunting tones of Etta James and Carmen McRae, then faster than the mind and ear can make the transition, Maureen Washington exudes the impish irreverence of Jann Arden and the vocal agility of Holly Cole. And yet, with all splendor attached to such comparisons, Maureen’s musical style remains distinctly her own. With more than a half dozen discs to her credit (see below), Maureen began her musical career in her home town of Prince George, British Columbia. Her vocal diversity lent itself to performances of blues, swing jazz and funk with BOP, a band widely acclaimed as the best dance band in the Prince George region
