About Me

“Linda is an emerging talent with a captivating smile in her voice.” Tom D’Antoni, The Oregonian A&E, October 19, 2007, and KMHD Radio Host * * * * “Linda has a pure clear voice and a fine appreciation for the melodic and lyrical end of the jazz spectrum. Excellent timing and intonation are her currency, and her jazziness comes from direct interpretation and communication, with little or no theatrics. She is sincere and her powerful voice is relaxed and welcoming. She is the epitome of the natural singer.” Jim Corcoran, Newland Jazz, and former President of the Jazz Society of Oregon * * * *Currently singing with the Art Abrams Swing Machine, Jazz Express Big Band, DeNardo/Daiber Duo and other trios, quartets, etc. * * * *Love the standards, as well as the more obscure treasures written and recorded in the 30's and 40's.

Highlights of this last year have been a Benefit Concert for the Jazz Society of Oregon held at Tony Starlight's Supperclub & Lounge. Great time! Other noteworthy events were a "Tribute to Gershwin Concert", and "An Evening With Vaughn Nark" (of the Airmen of Note) to benefit two Portland area homeless shelters.****Through this connection I have met many wonderful musicians, one of whom is Gordon McDonald, my Artistic Director and pianist.
