About Jenny Maybee
Jenny Maybee loves exploring sound by creating new pathways, textures and structures as a pianist, vocalist, and composer. As a classically-trained jazz pianist and vocalist, she approaches music as the art of expressing the human body through song-structures and improvisation, drawing inspiration from her studies of the martial and healing arts and the vast sonic landscape of jazz and world music. Her playing reflects her range of exploration, dancing from stunning open space and intricate use of silence to powerful rhythmic intensity. After a decade of playing and teaching music in southern California, Jenny's love of adventure led her to study communication in another dimension by moving to the San Francisco Bay Area to complete her law degree at U.C.
