Sunday, 7/28/2024, 7am - Judy Carmichael's Jazz Inspired

Vocalist Maud Hixson is a cool, swinging Minnesota gal whose clear sound and unencumbered delivery lets her virtuosity sneak up on you, in contrast to so many jazz singers today who make sure you hear their vocal chops at hello.

Maud Hixson grew up listening to the Great American Standards of the 1930’s, ‘40s and ‘50s and only discovered the work of Sir Richard Rodney Bennett when he reached out to compliment her recording of one of his favorite songs. A friendship developed and now Maud celebrates this long association with her latest CD, Permanent Moonlight, Songs of Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, which recently won a Bistro Award.
