Nicknamed “Stride” by the great Count Basie, Grammy-nominated pianist, vocalist, and songwriter Judy Carmichael enchants audiences with her command of the idiom at the piano, as well as her charming effervescence away from it. Carmichael appears frequently on radio and television throughout the world and maintains a busy international touring schedule. She and her quartet celebrate swing favorites of the American songbook, from Gershwin and Cole Porter to Frank Loesser and Harold Arlen. Her ensemble features Dan Block, Pat O’Leary and Chris Flory.
