MAUREEN KENNEDY

Toronto vocalist Maureen Kennedy has performed at numerous venues and arts events in and around the city of Toronto with many of Canada’s accomplished jazz players. Her great passion is repertoire, evident in her extensive book of memorable standards and rediscovered gems. This will be her second time at Frankie’s. Maureen will be accompanied by a first-rate group of Vancouver musicians:  Bill Coon – guitar, Miles Black – piano -John Lee – bass and Cory Weeds – saxophone.

“one of today’s rare jazz vocalists who evokes the purity, simplicity and directness of such great 1950s jazz voices as Teddi King, Lucy Reed, Pinky Winters and Irene Kral.” – World Records

“Kennedy is that rare presence, a real jazz singer; and her new CD is a winner. ” – Jazz Society of Oregon
