Musical Style: Jazz Vocal

The Jazz Singers features three of Colorado’s distinguished jazz vocalists—Myra Warren, MaryLynn Gillaspie and Tina Phillips—at Dazzle on Wednesday, January 13, from 6:30–8:00 p.m. Accompanied by Stu MacAskie on piano, Andrew Hudson on bass and Harold Summey on drums, the singers will bring their individual styles and extensive experience to an evening celebrating vocal jazz. Dazzle is located at 1080 14th Street, Denver, CO 80202.

King. Her repertoire spans swing, jazz standards and contemporary material. Tina Phillips is a Denver native, vocalist, songwriter and educator with more than four decades of experience performing at jazz clubs and festivals. Her career includes collaborations with a wide range of jazz musicians, including Art Lande, Paul Warburton and Bruno Carr.
