Internationally acclaimed american jazz vocalist, lyricist, and educator Judy Niemack joins forces with renowned belgian jazz guitarist Jeanfrançois Prins’ world class trio to present “Singing Miles” - a special vocal celebration of the timeless music associated with the legendary trumpeter Miles Davis on the year of his centennial. Together, Niemack and Prins’ trio re-interpret Miles’ repertoire—with expressive vocals, skillful improvisation, and a deeply personal musical narrative. “Singing Miles” explores the lyricism, mystery, and innovative spirit that defined Davis’ artistry, weaving intimate ballads, swinging classics, and daring jazz compositions into a vibrant and contemporary concert experience. The ensemble’s musical conversations honor the spirit of Miles while opening up new perspectives on some of jazz’s most enduring works. Judy Niemack is a pure musician, exploring jazz with her voice like a virtuoso horn player. Her delivery of lyrics focuses on feeling, while she breaks new ground with originals and a modern approach to standards. She is widely regarded as one of the leading and most respected Jazz vocalists and educators of our time. Jazz critic Neil Tesser wrote in DownBeat about Niemack: “You sing like an angel, or at least an angel who’s heard Basie and Miles: you’ve got intonation that whole choruses would kill for, and a voice that never loses its soft sheen even at hot tempos and high volume. You’re one of the few singers who actually should sing scat solos, since you think so much like a horn player.”
