Being Jazzy Is Classy!

About Me

THE TATIANA MAYFIELD QUINTETSmooth, refreshing, and unique is how many have described the sound of the Tatiana Mayfield Quintet, lead by the 21-year old jazz vocalist from Fort Worth, Texas. Mayfield is a University of North Texas student working on a degree in Vocal Jazz Studies where she also is a member of the UNT Jazz Singers ensemble. The best moments in her career so far include receiving a National Foundation for the Advancement in the Arts (NFAA) Award for Jazz Voice in 2006, performing in the Jazz By the Boulevard festival in Fort Worth in 2007, and performing on the “Showtime At The Apollo” television show in 2004. The Quintet is making its mark in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, often performing at several well-known restaurants as well as local events. The band also consists of North Texas jazz students: Erskine Hawkins on piano, Joel Cross on guitar, Asher Barreras on bass, and Brendan O’Neill on drums.
