JUDY WEXLER TRIO

PANGEA / MAY 14 & MAUREEN'S JAZZ CELLAR / MAY 16

From the beginning of her career, vocalist Judy Wexler has shown an adventurous spirit as she draws inspiration while exploring standards, timeless jazz compositions, bossa nova and pop, frequently long-neglected treasures of earlier eras. Judy’s rich alto is expressive and buoyed by the top musicians who inspire her on recordings or on stage. Her most recent album is No Wonder (Jewel City Jazz), featuring her infectious take of Luciana Souza’s “No Wonder” and a stunning vocal setting of Cedar Walton’s “Firm Roots (Are What You Need to Win)” with a lyric by Kitty Margolis. Judy will be joined by pianist Jim Ridl, saxophonist Tim Armacost, bassist Bill Moring and drummer Tim Horner at Pangea, while the rhythm section will be with her at Maureen’s Jazz Cellar on May 16.—KD
