The Alison Margaret Jazz Ensemble features innovative arrangements of classic and modern jazz standards as well as original tunes. The Jazz Ensemble's foundation is thick in jazz tradition but is propelled by progressive harmony and melodic creativity.
Ms. Margaret’s vocal jazz career took off in 1997 when she began her jazz studies at Columbia College Chicago. She had the fabulous opportunity to work closely with the late-great William Russo, Bobbi Wilsyn, Sebastian Huydts, Doug Lofstrom, and Frank Dawson. During her years at Columbia Ms. Margaret developed a strong appreciation (and perhaps obsession) for music theory and analysis. Her theory studies stretched her limits as an improviser and arranger. Currently Ms. Margaret has a fantastic teaching studio and continues to perform frequently.
Alison Margaret is also an accomplished classical pianist. She is pursuing a Master of Music in Collaborative Piano Performance at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.
