Carnegie Hall

Highly acclaimed as a singer, saxophonist, composer, and bandleader, Camille Thurman is one of New York’s most multifaceted jazz musicians. Vocally, Thurman elevates any tune with her “soulful inflection” and “remarkable [Ella] Fitzgerald-esque scat prowess” (DownBeat). And JazzTimes writes, “When she picks up the sax, it’s another vibe altogether: hearty, gutsy, fervid, sensual.” With wide stylistic range, Thurman has performed extensively with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis and worked with luminaries ranging from George Benson and Lew Tabackin to Chaka Khan, Alicia Keys, and Missy Elliott. Don’t miss a free performance by this powerhouse musician and her regular working band, led by first-call jazz drummer Darrell Green.
