Jennifer Hartswick is one of the most refreshing new voices of the twenty first century. A consummate performer, she thrills audiences as a vocalist, trumpeter, composer, lyricist and educator. She is equally at home singing soul, funk, pop and R&B, but her passion without question is jazz.
Born in Vermont into a musical family, Jennifer began playing at the age of 4. First piano, then clarinet, sax, flute, trombone, tuba and finally trumpet. In her early teens she became infatuated with the sounds of Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, Clifford Brown and Ella Fitzgerald. After a stint living on the upper west side of Manhattan, she attended the Hartt School of Music where she studied the intricacies of the jazz idiom with Jackie McLean, Nat Reeves, Steve Davis and many other highly prominent jazz artists.
At the age of 20 Jennifer was afforded the opportunity to join Trey Anastasio's new band, having already recorded on Story of the Ghost (Phish, 1998) and One Man's Trash (Trey Anastasio, 1998). She embraced the idea with open arms and began touring with him in 2001. Her accolades include twelve Elektra releases and sharing the stage and studio with such legends as Carlos Santana, Dave Matthews, The Rolling Stones and Herbie Hancock to name a few.
In 2003 Jennifer released her own debut album; a soulful, horn laden party entitled Fuse. "I always want an album to sound fresh" says Hartswick. "It's amazing to see what happens when you put great musicians in a room together with no boundaries."
And that's exactly what she has done again. Jennifer has gone back into the studio with some of her favorite musicians to record an album very true to her heart. She revisits her roots with this release, recording some of her most beloved jazz standards including With Every Breath I Take, Nature Boy, Gentle Rain, and the haunting original composition, You Own Me. "True" was released in the fall of 2007.

Cost
BAR: $12.00 TABLE:$12.00More about Blue Note
Blue Note
Regarding the Jazz scene in New York City, one of the Blue Note s managers matter of factly told us This is it. Indeed, the Blue Note is arguably the world s most popular jazz club. Although the club only opened their doors in the early 80 s, it has the feel of a longtime veteran in the New York Jazz scene. Once you get over the commercial feel of the joint, including its gold plaque embedded tables, mediocre meals named after jazz songs, and overpriced gift shop, the Blue Note is truly among the best of its kind. Expect to see world renowned talent on any given day except for Mondays, which is reserved for exceptional local talent. Show times are 9 00 and 11 30 during the week and additional Sunday matinees at 1 00 PM and 3 30 PM. Check the schedule link for show details.Links
