About Me



Jenn Green has given a new and refreshing sound to an old favorite. She adds her own unique flavor and style, at the same time, she is a making her mark on an emerging genre, Christian Jazz. Her songs are about hope, healing, life, and love, giving those who love R&B/Jazz, a chance to see the other side of the "blues". She has been called, "The new 'Jazz Diva'! " by singer/songwriter, Travis Meadows, "...a breath of fresh air...", and "...look forward to hearing great things from her in the future...She certainly has the talent and the giftings...", Wally Nason, Nason Music Group. Jenn Green sings from her soul and puts her heart into her music. So sit back and relax, and let Jenn's haunting melodies and smooth as satin voice take you to a place of peace through Jazz.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/19/2005
Band Website: jenngreen.com
Band Members: Jenn Green--Singer, songwriter, BGV, and some keyboards.

Nathan Green-- Keyboards, brass, and any post production needs or arranging.

Influences:
I have been a great admirer of voices of the past. Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland (my favorite of hers is "The Man That Got Away"--it's so raw and relatable), Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra (My grandpa loved his music so much, he used to share all of his memorabilia with me--I miss Frank and my late Grandpa Beckman) to name a few. My dad thought I should be familiar with as many of them as possible when I was growing up.

More up-to-date: I love Sarah McLachlan and Nora Jones for bringing their own flavor to the industry. In a world of duplicates, they both have a unique sound and voice. My eclectic tastes include Michelle Branch, Train, U2, Dave Matthews Band, Evanescence, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Sandi Patty, Kevin Max, Switchfoot, Chris Tomlin, DC Talk, Tait , Fusebox , Michael W. Smith, Pamela Clark , Brant Christopher , Alison Stevens, Mark Steven Brocke, Kim Krenik, Barbara Streisand, Harry Connick, Jr., Diana Krall, MercyMe , Newsboys, Darlene Czech, Nicole Nordman, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Williams. HAVE YOU GONE BLIND, YET? The list does go on for quite a while.

Sounds Like:
I sound like me... I really have my own unique flavor. That's the way I like it. I think everyone's music should be their own, and not like someone elses. If it has already been done, why do it again?
Record Label: none, yet
Type of Label: Indie

Singing and Dancing at the Jitterbug

I sang Saturday Night at the Jitterbug! I sang with the "Twin Cities Swing Band"--they do more gypsy jazz than the traditional. However, I was there to literally walk on the stage and without rehearsa...
