All That Jazz Singing Workshop
beginning soon
reserve your seat now
at
The Singers
Center
Grace is also the Director of
The Singers Center
Head over for a current list of courses
specifically for singers.
A singer in the tradition of Annie Ross, Anita O'Day, Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, Eddie Jefferson and Ella Fitzgerald, Grace combines lyrical and ethereal scatting - reminiscent of the great "bop" players - with a technically precise harmonic range and the kind of risk taking that few jazz singers attempt in their careers. She can infuse pop standards and show tunes with new life by employing intricate compound rhythms, as in her 5/4 6/8 arrangement of Lerner and Loews's Show Me or her funky 6/4 arrangement of Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone. In addition to her arranging, Grace is also a composer and co-writer with Chick Corea (Watching the Wind) and Kenny Barron (Morning Sunshower).
