“wit, wisdom, flexibility, warmth and perfect timing… The Boston doyenne gave a masterclass in the art of jazz singing” – Evening Standard *****
ReVoice! 2014 opens by welcoming once again our very first artist from 2010: Grammy nominee and jazz singer supreme Rebecca Parris. Born in Massachusetts to a family of musicians and educators, Rebecca initially worked with various top 40’s bands before embarking upon a career in jazz. Her performing/recording credits with jazz legends Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, David “Fathead” Newman, Red Mitchell, Jerry Bergonzi and Gary Burton among many others are testament to her world-class talent.
