“Organic, eclectic…spontaneous!
Jazz singer Judy Chamberlain solidly
affirms the music’s far-reaching,
continuing vitality.”
Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times
“Judy Chamberlain is a singer who’s
always a pleasure to hear. In part,
because her astonishing repertoire
makes every performance a
fascinating journey through a
century of song. But even more
so because she brings such care,
authenticity and musicality to
everything she touches.”

Saturday, November 21, 2009 Live music, with a terrific band playing to an exuberant crowd of party and wedding guests; what fun!
What makes for a great plan utilizing live music at weddings and events?
To me, the repertoire's the thing.
There is nothing that’s as much fun at a wedding or party than the special INTERACTIVE relationship between brides and grooms, wedding and party guests and a live band — especially a live band with an enormous repertoire.
And how boring that music would be if it were all just swing, or a steady diet of big band dance music from the 1940's. The music of the 1950's 1960's and 1970's is SO HOT! Our eclectic jazz-pop-swing repertoire has become very contemporary in it's retro moderne vintageness. We know thousands of songs -- our enormous repertoire is actually legendary -- and not everything we play is an "obvious choice." It's this uniqueness that's part of the excitement of having live music at a wedding or an event.
Songs like Destination Moon, Song Of The Jet and Hotel California are fun, mood-provoking, sleek and cerebral, flirty and deep, light and elegant. We love the kind of live music that thrills and delights wedding and party... |
Saturday, November 7, 2009 "You and your band absolutely made our wedding!"

Thursday, October 8, 2009 Gourmet and Modern Bride are gone. This is not good.

Saturday, October 3, 2009 We never play anything the same way once.
Most of my musical colleagues started making music professionally when they were about thirteen years old.

We're a little more creative these days.
