JUDY BARNETT BIO
Judy Barnett has been a ubiquitous presence in New York City’s jazz scene for over 20 years. She is a six-time MAC Jazz Vocalist Award winner and has received a Back Stage Bistro Award, as well as twelve ASCAP Special Awards for her songwriting. Judy has recorded several jazz CD’s plus a compilation of some of her own songs. She is at home and beloved by audiences in any music setting, be it the storied Oak Room at The Algonquin or Manhattan’s upper West Side jazz club, Smoke. While nobody swings harder than Judy, she always does justice to the lyrics of the Great American Songbook, past and present. Ms. Barnett has made Time Out New York’s Critic’s Pick List virtually every time she has appeared, in every venue she has performed. As John Anderson of New York Newsday so aptly put it, “Judy percolates like the Jazz God’s coffee pot!” Judy’s new release is “Too Darn Hot!,” a big band CD of Spring and Summer songs.
