Ann Hampton Callaway is highly regarded for her Tony-nominated performance in the hit Broadway musical, Swing! and for her witty writing and singing of the theme to the hit TV series, The Nanny. Throughout the years, Callaway has built a devoted fan base that includes numerous celebrated musicians like Barbra Streisand, who has recorded several of Ann's songs, including "I've Dreamed of You," which Streisand sang to James Brolin at their wedding and loved so much she included it on three recent CD's: A Love Like Ours, Timeless and Essential Barbra. Originally from Chicago, Ann is the daughter of the esteemed voice teacher and singer, Shirley Callaway and legendary Chicago television journalist, John Callaway. Her sister Liz is one of the most prominent singer-actresses on Broadway. Since coming to New York, Ann has recorded over 40 CD's as a soloist and guest artist combined. As one of the leading interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Callaway was the first person granted permission by Cole Porter's estate to write music for a previously unrecorded Porter lyric, "I Gaze In Your Eyes." The renaissance woman has recently made her screen debut playing Mrs. White in the upcoming independent film, Sky King, and is preparing to host a new TV series, soon to be announced. The Chicago Tribune touts Ann Hampton Callaway as "the best equipped jazz vocalist swinging today" while The New York Times declares that "no contemporary singer matches Ms. Callaway." With the release of her latest album, Slow, Ann Hampton Callaway further asserts herself as an exciting talent who stands in a class by herself.
