Carrie Jackson, well known jazz vocalist, and her Jazzin' All Stars band, return to the library! You will be in for an afternoon of incredible music performed in the style of the great ladies of jazz, such as Sarah “Sassy” Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Carmen McRae, Dinah Washington, and Billie Holiday.With her multifaceted singing style, Carrie sings classic jazz standards with sweet soul; wails the blues; performs cabaret and Gospel, all complimented by her engaging stage presence and professional musicians.

To name a few NYC clubs: Birdland, Blue Note, Iridium, 92ND Street Y, and New Jersey venues such as Shanghai Jazz, Bickford Theater, SOPAC, The Loft, Newark Museum Jazz in the Garden Series, and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.
