Highly recommended! Grammy-nominated pianist Judy Carmichael is one of the world’s leading interpreters of stride piano and swing.
Count Basie nicknamed her “Stride,” acknowledging the command with which she plays this technically and physically demanding jazz piano style. Recognised as an official Steinway Artist, Judy is one of a handful of musicians who approach jazz from a perspective of its entire history. Choosing to study jazz piano from its early roots on, she explores the music deeply, infusing it with a “fresh, dynamic interpretation of her own” (Washington Post).
Her newly released CD Come and Get It features her singing debut on Peggy Lee inspired standards, to humorous takes on Fats Waller tunes. But it’s her playing that will leave you in complete and utter awe.
“…astounding, flawless and captivating” (New York Times)
