THE JANIS MANN TRIO- feat. Bill Cunliffe and Sezin Ahmet

A striking song stylist and fearless improviser,Janis Mann is a celebrated jazz vocalist whose rich timbre and impressive range evoke the mastery of Sarah Vaughan and Carmen McRae. Born in Brooklyn and inspired by her mother’s love for the jazz greats, Mann’s musical path evolved from classical piano and folk guitar in the cafes of Europe to fronting R&B bands in New York. Her career has seen her flourish as a mainstay in the Los Angeles and New York jazz scenes, performing at iconic venues like the Blue Note and Dizzy’s. With eight successful albums to her name, including the critically acclaimed Dreams of Flying with pianist Kenny Werner, she has solidified her reputation as one of the most skilled and alluring vocalists in contemporary jazz.Throughout her distinguished career, Mann has collaborated with a "who's who" of jazz luminaries, including Roy Haynes, Diane Schuur, and John Clayton. Her versatility and "here-and-now" sensibility have earned her prestigious accolades, such as being named "Northwest Jazz Vocalist of the Year" during a decade-long tenure in Seattle. Whether leading the Jazz Muse Concert Series alongside masters like Ernie Watts and Peter Erskine or recording live at the world-famous Jazz Alley, Mann continues to captivate audiences with her unique sound. As JazzTimes writer Christopher Loudon aptly notes, she remains an artist who truly sweeps listeners away with her sophisticated and engaging performances.
