Daily Dose Of Jazz…

Marguerita Page was born on August 10, 1950 in Clarksville, Tennessee and first sang in church. At the same time, absorbing the sounds of the blues and R&B, her saxophonist father introduced her to jazz.

Marguerita’s mature style blends her gospel and blues roots with jazz in an elegant original way. She has written lyrics to the works of Charlie Parker and Wes Montgomery. Her 1995 debut release All My Friends features saxophonist Charles McPherson.

Moving to California, Page performed as soloist and director of the One Human Family Community Choir, at the Idyllwyld Jazz Festival and at On Broadway in San Diego. She has been featured on television, is writing music to some of the sacred scriptures of the Baha’i Faith and recording a soundtrack for an interactive autobiography titled The Dawn At My Back by San Diego State University professor Carroll Blue.

Back in Tennessee, Marguerita’s current projects and performances feature pianist/songwriter Will Barrow. Vocalist, composer, voice teacher, and choir director Marguerita Page continues to perform and record.
