Olivia Duhon at Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame

The Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame welcomes Olivia Duhon and her band back to the Jazz Depot Stage. Her band features Scott McQuade on piano, Edwin Garcia on bass and Henry Aberson on drums. Jazz aficionados who have followed the career and music of Olivia Duhon for the past several years know they can count on memorable performances when they catch her at local clubs or as a featured artist for area fundraising events. By the time Olivia Duhon moved to Tulsa during high school with her family, the native Cajun from southwest Louisiana had already decided to pursue a jazz career. But it wasn’t until after attending The University of Tulsa that she chose to kickstart her career in T-town. She has been on the go ever since. G.K. Hizer recently stated in article regarding Olivia..."The young lady with striking features and a voice that can melt steel first appeared on the local music scene and immediately won the attention of Tulsa's jazz fans with her loyal translation of jazz and pop standards. Her reputation quickly spread beyond jazz circles, based on the sheer strength and beauty of her voice and a natural yet refined talent. What's truly impressive, beyond the strength of her voice, which turns heads of all generations, is her flexibility within the genre. Not only can she shift her performances to fit the audience or venue, but she can also identify with musicians of all ages. Olivia bridges the gap between the generations, a young artist with a mature soul and understanding of the genre. She is able to perform with musicians of all generations. Olivia received the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame Legacy Tribute Award in 2009....
