Bio
Jennifer Scott Jennifer is considered one of the most important jazz artists working, recording and teaching in Canada and the United States today. Her vibrant voice and solid piano playing have been featured on many CBC and NPR shows, including JazzBeat and her own recordings have garnered critical acclaim and sold thousands of copies. Jennifer sings and plays piano in Novo Tempo, a Brazilian group based in the San Francisco area. Her latest recordings as a solo artist are, "Emotional Girl" with her Quintet, “Mile 41” with her quartet, and “Live at The Cellar”, recently released on the “Cellar Live” label & receiving international airplay. Jennifer is also an ‘in-demand’ session singer and can be heard in numerous jingles and on various album projects. She has performed with jazz greats Clark Terry, Tommy Banks, Rufus Reid, Paul Horn, Don Thompson to name a few. "...this voice immediately arrested my hearing and said, 'wake up, sit down and listen to this lady 'til she's finished singing.' A very pure, a very flexible voice - a voice made to sing jazz." -Katie Mallik, CBC Jazzbeat "...even as the (Vancouver International) Jazz Festival was drawing to a close, several revelations awaited. Vancouver vocalist/pianist Jennifer Scott has made some excellent recordings, but in person she's a force of nature, an artist unafraid to take risks. Her big, warm contralto sounded in top form on Charlie Chaplin's "Smile" and an up-tempo version of "Just In Time" that climaxed with several thrilling scat choruses. Most audaciously, she transformed Lesley Gore's hit "It's My Party" into a tortured torch song. Scott is the kind of singer who you want to tackle your favorite songs, just to hear what she might do with them." - Andrew Gilbert, JazzTimes www.jenniferscott.ca
