Rebecca Martin featuring Larry Grenadier, Steve Cardenas & Larry Goldings at Stanford Jazz Festival

Rebecca Martin “is a fresh jazz singer set loose in folk-pop, or vice versa” (New York Times). Beginning her recording career with the group Once Blue, Martin was quickly drawn to writing her own songs. Her first solo album, People Behave Like Ballads, was a New York Times Critic’s Pick, while her 2009 album The Growing Season won an Independent Music Award. While she’s often compared to Joni Mitchell, jazz lovers will also hear echoes of Billie Holliday’s intimate, honest style, along with a trace of Anita O’Day’s playfulness. “Let Martin’s astute, erudite perspectives on the human condition wash over you, and you’ll know you’re in the company of emerging genius” (JazzTimes)....
