   About Nora York

Nora York, deemed an " ingenious, radical, extravagant talent " by The New Yorker magazine, has three CDs in release and a new project POWER/PLAY on her website www.norayork.com live streaming. Her 2006 Cd WHAT I WANT was reviewed by BILLBOARD magazine : "Since emerging from New York's Knitting Factory jazz scene in the late '90s, Nora York has ignored musical boundaries. Like sister in song Nellie McKay, she has no use for the words "musical genre." On her third album, the aurally delicious "What I Want," York stands tall and proud at the intersection of Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Jane Siberry and Norah Jones. York had a hand in writing the bulk of the songs here, such as the buoyant title track. "Artificial Paradise" manages to bridge the gap between Mitchell's "Hejira" and "Dog Eat Dog" -- no easy feat, for sure. In York's worldview, desire and redemption share the same stage. A cover of Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man" lacks luster, but a reading of the Rolling Stones' "Ruby Tuesday," stripped of any excess, is, in a word, beautiful." Michael Paoletta. Check out all her stuff on her site at (www.norayork.com).

Tracks from WHAT I WANT are featured on HBO Films Methdonia as well as German director Doris Dorries' new film The Fisherman's and his Wife (soundtrack on Virgin). York won a New York State Council on the Arts Composers Commission. Her I Dreamed I Saw: Music of Stephen Foster and Jimi Hendrix was a New Sounds Live concert at Merkin Hall NYC.

York's collaborations include FOXFIRE with artist Nancy Spero and another with Rajka Puri at the Asia Society New York illustrate her range as an artist. Papas Got A Brand New Baghdad a new radio work in progress with soldiers recently returned form Iraq and POWER/PLAY (filmed at PENN STATE) are on the vanguard of live streaming multimedia performances on the world wide web. She teaches at New York University.
