The Encore Presents A Tribute To Women in Jazz This March

Paying homage to luminaries such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Etta James, award-winning jazz vocalist, Tammy McCann, takes us on an unforgettable musical journey, March 8th and 9th for The Encore's Tribute to Women in Jazz. 

“The concert will be a celebration of the indelible mark left by female jazz musicians throughout history.” says Encore's Director of Marketing, Jessica Grové. “We are thrilled to welcome back the magnificent Tammy McCann, who just last year wowed our audiences taking center stage with Kahil El'Zabar.” 

Tammy McCann is an internationally recognized jazz vocalist whose powerful, sultry, and soulful voice paints pictures and tells stories by merging classical vocal technique and gospel aesthetic with jazz to create a sound that is completely her own. 

McCann has performed with Ramsey Lewis, Willie Pickens, and Von Freeman and toured as a “Raelette” with the great Ray Charles. In addition, she has thrilled audiences at some of the nation's premier jazz venues including Birdland, the Blue Note, Jazz at Lincoln Center's Dizzy's Club Coca Cola, and recently at Ann Arbor's  Blue Llama. She recently released her sixth studio album, entitled, “Do I Move You?” to rave reviews.

The concert, which kicks off Women's History Month, serves as a powerful reminder of the invaluable contributions of women in jazz, celebrating the immense talent, resilience, and innovation of women throughout the history of jazz, giving them the recognition they deserve in a historically male-dominated field.
