Excellence In Jazz Playlist, March 8, 2023
Excellence in Jazz is celebrating the women of jazz all month during Women's History Month. Tonight we shine the spotlight on vocalist Mary Stallings.
-
Born and raised in San Francisco, Mary Stallings began singing in clubs such as the Hungry I and El Matador with Ben Webster, Cal Tjader, and the Montgomery Brothers.
-
Dizzy Gillespie was so impressed with Mary, he invited her to perform with his band at the 1965 Monterey Jazz Festival. That led to a three- year residency as Count Basie’s lead vocalist.
-
After retiring from music to raise her daughter, Mary began recording and performing again in the ‘80’s. Stallings has released 13 albums. Her latest, “Songs Were Made To Sing,” features a brilliant reworking of Oliver Nelson’s “Stolen Moments” and Tadd Dameron’s “Lady Bird.”
Also featured tonight: Nina Simone, Anne Sajdera, and Iris Ornig.
