Vocalist, lyricist, composer and educator Fay Victor has been hailed by the New York Times as “artistically complete” and “an accomplished vocal modernist” by Time Out New York for her unique vocal approach to the blues, jazz, free improvisation and her own original material. Starting from the jazz tradition, Victor has gone on to encompass a multi-genre approach to music, lyrics and song called “Freesong.” Having released seven critically acclaimed recordings as a leader, touring extensively throughout Europe as well as Japan, India, Canada, Russia, and Mexico has worked with a veritable who's-who of musicians including Anthony Braxton, Misha Mengelberg, William Parker, Ab Baars, Dave Burrell, Hamid Drake, Roswell Rudd, Laurence “Butch' Morris, Gary Lucas and Tyshawn Sorey. Fay Victor is constantly on the move with her own projects and in collaboration with others, keep in touch with www.fayvictor.com for all the latest in Fay's travels, stories and performances. 'artistically complete" - The New York Times “Fay Victor has a rich, commanding voice that’s matched by a sense of adventure, like Betty Carter if that late singer hung around the current Downtown New York scene.”- The Chicago Reader “A vocalist suited to stand up against any horn”- AllAboutJazz-New York User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
