Jeri Brown has earned a reputation as one of jazz’s most outstanding “artistic” vocalists. With many fine musicians who are labeled “artistic,” it’s sometimes overlooked how richly musical, thoroughly accessible and enjoyable their music can be. Jeri Brown is focused, ambitious, daring and intent upon creating music that is both well conceived and honest. Brown is well known for performing and recording with passion and dedication.

Committed to the legacy of vocal jazz, Ms. Brown’s performances fill the historical spectrum of classic American songbook themes, original jazz compositions, and contemporary world themes with intense vocal improvisations, and include collaborations with diverse, legendary jazz artists.

She appears frequently with her own ensembles on stages throughout Europe, Canada and the United States and has traveled, recorded, adjudicated and performed extensively at festivals, concert series and noted jazz clubs to sold-out audiences worldwide, including presidents and royalty. For her Carleton debut, she’ll be joined by Tim Crofts or Holly Arsenault (piano), Lukas Pearse (bass), Gary Steed (drums), and a revolving who’s who of the city’s finest horn players (Paul St-Amand,, Andrew Jackson, Chris Mitchel, Jackson Fairfax-Perry, Bennett Logan).
