Tessa Souter to Appear in QuintetOct. 22, 7:30 pm & 9:30 pmAdmission: $20 plus tax Jazz Standard 116th East 27th St. Tel. 212-576-2232 jazzstandard.net/red  Tessa Souter, the next up and coming jazz vocalist Los Angeles Times hails Souter as “One of the most imaginatively programmed vocal sets of recent memory." According to Jazz tuba legend Howard Johnson, Souter is a musician who not only has the voice of a natural born singer but also the lyrics to “make her stand out from the pack.” Souter is a late-comer to singing professionally, and yet, has the confidence and soul of a seasoned professional. She first worked as a journalist and freelance writer before moving to New York and sitting in on jazz jams getting involved with the Blues scene. In 1998 she won a scholarship to New York's Manhattan School of Music, which she left to study privately with jazz vocal legend Mark Murphy who is now her trusted mentor. © Danielle Martino 2007 |
