Judy Wexler

Los Angeles-based vocalist Judy Wexler has headlined at jazz festivals, performing arts centers and leading jazz clubs both nationally and internationally. All About Jazz says, “Judy Wexler is more than a mere singer of songs, she is an actress, mood painter, song archaeologist and vocalist par excellence.” She has released six albums, most recently Back to the Garden (2021, Jewel City Jazz), a collection of 1960s songs from the Summer of Love, arranged by her longtime pianist Jeff Colella. Her fifth CD, a collaboration with pianist Alan Pasqua, Crowded Heart (2019, Jewel City Jazz), presented “Jazz standards for the 21st century,” an anthology of ten modern jazz compositions by contemporary songwriters. Ted Gioia, New York Times best-selling author of The Jazz Standards and The History of Jazz said, “What a joy to listen to this album, both for the exquisite music-making of Judy Wexler and Alan Pasqua, but also for their astuteness in finding and featuring outstanding songs by current-day jazz composers. Highly recommended!” Discover more at judywexler.com .
