Recently featured on Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz Rising Stars in March 2012, Whitney is a voice and talent jazz fans and musicians are taking notice of.

Dividing her time between New York and Florida, James applies an instrumentalist’s precise command of
phrasing, melody, and timbre to an ambitious program of jazz standards. Her debut album, The Nature of Love
(Stir Stick Music, 2010) earned rave reviews and high ratings in DownBeat and the French magazine Jazzman.
Raul d’Gama Rose at All About Jazz praised her commanding vocal technique: “James makes wonderful things happen as she explores, with warmth and wonder, both the quiet and the wild side of the human voice.”
