Ernestine Anderson
From New York to Chicago to L.A., Ernestine Anderson has been performing all over the country and worldwide for over 60 years. Years of singing and living have created a vocalist who can make your heart cry one moment and dance the next. "Still in strong voice at 78, Ms. Anderson knows how to make stoicism feel expressive," said the NY Times, on Feb. 15, 2007. Ms. Anderson has recorded more than 30 albums, performed at all of the major jazz festivals worldwide, and is a recipient of four Grammy nominations. She is one of the most beloved and versatile jazz vocalists to emerge from the big band era. Poignant ballads, sassy swing and down-home blues; Ernestine Anderson is a master of them all. She has worked with some of the greatest musicians, including Gene Harris, Hank Jones, Lionel Hampton, Ray Brown, Quincy Jones, Duke Ellington and Count Basie. Recently, Ms. Anderson received the 2004 IMPACT award from the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Recording Academy, which recognized her for her 60-year career and musical achievements. In addition, she was one of the 75 women chosen for the book, “I Dream a World: Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America,” by Pulitzer Prize winning Photographer Brian Lanker, joining such company as Rosa Parks, Toni Morrison, and Oprah Winfrey. ..
