I am a jazz singer with a background in classical as well. I do not have an agent or a booking agent. I have a business manager. Would your orgainzation help an artist such as myself in putting together a tour for up to four months. I have a UK passport. Please let me know if your organization would help or could you suggest someone who could help? Thank you. Jessica Usherwood. ![]() Jazz Journey From an early age words and the combination of wordshave fascinated me. The power to paint a picture with words that captivates the imagination and moves the spirit is amazing. As I grew older I was struck by poems put into song called the Art Song. Then I experienced Maria Callas' breathtaking rendition of Giordano's "La mamma morta" from Andrea Chénier. I had discovered my own gift of singing and expressing myself lyrically but Ms. Callas' performance was a turning point in my life. I felt the call to take my gift, develop it and create my own vision and experience. Although classically trained and very much in love with the traditions of classical music, I had an opportunity to work with some jazz musicians and study under two very fine professors. I found a completely different approach to release my emotional juices and say some important things about life, relationships and moods. I felt a wonderful freedom to let myself cry out, become absorbed in the atmosphere and move myself and my audience to another place. In a way it's cathartic the experience is a meeting of the hearts and minds of everyone. It is a journey that I begin with the audience and complete somewhere else over the time we spend together. So my early love of language meets my gift to cause words to spring into life and create a situation where people learn to feel and imagine a different place. Come experience this journey with me! www.jessicausherwood.com |
