Wendy Simon, performing as a part of Jazz Appreciation Month, has been described as a “polished performer who stylishly and sensitively can sing her way around a ballad, as well as sing and swing with the best!” She started her career in New York City, appearing in Off-Broadway, as well as regional theatres as an actress/singer. Wendy toured the East Coast with a rock/show band, which led to her settling in the Philadelphia area. She studied music with Philly bassist, Al Stauffer and sang in the Borgia Cafe with pianist Bob Cohen and Bassist Tyrone Brown. She has performed in many clubs throughout Europe and Casablanca, Morocco and the East Coast. Wendy teamed up with Eric Spiegel in 1980 and they became known as “52nd Street.” They appeared at “The Village Gate” in New York City, “Starlight Room” in Boston, “Harrah’s” in Atlantic City, and many clubs in the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan area. Wendy establishes a strong connection with the audience and has been called, “an imaginative tune picker” because of her diverse mix of material including swinging be-bop songs, Brazilian bossas/sambas, and her own jazzy- spin on pop and standards. She even has several jazz novelty tunes!
