This concert is presented in loving memory of Stephen Zegree. Guest Artist Biography With six critically acclaimed CDs and a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Vocal CD, Kate McGarry has become recognized as a jazz artist who brings authenticity and vitality to every song regardless of genre . The Wall Street Journal calls her music, “austere and elegant,” and the New York Times pronounced it, “astute and sensitive .” McGarry currently appears in jazz clubs, performing arts centers, and festivals throughout the U .S . and abroad . She has taught at New England Conservatory and currently serves on the faculty of Manhattan School of Music . Down Beat Magazine cited McGarry as Rising Star vocalist for the past nine years . In July of 2016, Down Beat’s 64th Critics Poll named McGarry the No . 1 Rising Star Female Vocalist . She earned a degree in Afro-American music and jazz at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she studied with Horace Boyer and Archie Shepp . Her experiences studying at a meditation ashram and exploring Celtic, Brazilian and Indian music also contributed to her vision as a vocalist and composer . After honing her craft in Los Angeles, McGarry moved to New York and released her debut album, Show Me (Palmetto Records) . Jazziz Magazine declared, “With this near-flawless album, she has arrived ”. McGarry has performed, recorded, or toured with such jazz luminaries as Hank Jones, Clark Terry, Archie Shepp, Fred Hersch, Kurt Elling, Maria Schneider, John Hollenbeck, and Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown . Her 2013 collaboration with John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble, Songs I Like A Lot, was lauded as a milestone in contemporary vocal jazz, receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Arrangement for a Vocalist . Collaborations with Ryan Truesdell and Jeremy Fox have resulted in great learning opportunities as well as additional Grammy nominations, awards and accolades . McGarry lives in Durham, N .C ., with husband/guitarist Keith Ganz . McGarry’s plans for the future include recording, touring, composing and collaborating as well as teaching and continuing to pass on the many gifts that the jazz music tradition has given to her .
