Next show: New York City, Sun 8 Nov
A nostalgic, underground vocal jazz artist.
Jane Irving has won acclaim from audiences for her unwavering jazz feel. A risk taker with “lavish talent and striking originality”, Jane is a gifted musician who possesses an emotive, narrative style that make her a unique storyteller in the jazz genre. Australian jazz vocalist and pianist Jane Irving, a New Yorker since 2011, has become a valued presence on the New York jazz scene. Guitar great Russell Malone has called her “The personification of taste.” A classical piano student from age six (placing third in her state’s final high school performance exam), she regularly incorporates the instrument into her live gigs. But following a long-ago epiphany at her first gig as a solo vocalist, she’s made singing her primary means of expression. Her 2023 release, Don’t Quit Now, features pianist Josh Richman, bassist Kevin Hailey (her husband) and drummer Kayvon Gordon on a collection of songs by the likes of Ivan Lins, Al Cohn/Dave Frishberg, Dizzy Gillespie and Jay Leonhart.
