Ocean City Event Detail

Judy Carmichael is considered one of the greatest pianists in the swing tradition and one of the most sensitive vocalists. Count Basie nicknamed her “Stride” acknowledging her command of the form. Of Judy’s singing, America’s premier jazz magazine, Jazz Times writes: “Carmichael exhibits a truly remarkable ability to channel Peggy Lee’s breathy invitingness and her befogged insouciance (and) echoes the intense perspicacity of the solo albums of Annie Ross. In other words, she winningly blends two of the all-time finest, most intuitive jazz singers.” Judy’s concerts feature swing renditions of the Great American Songbook, from Gershwin and Cole Porter to Fats Waller and Duke Ellington, as well as new and unrecorded original compositions by Judy Carmichael.
