about

JEANNE O'CONNOR is a jazz vocalist who has delved deep into the heart of the Great American Songbook with swing, subtlety, and deep musicality. She has also brought her clear, expressive alto voice to Brazilian music, pop, and R and B. She has performed as a soloist with jazz combos and big bands throughout the New York City region and beyond. A versatile vocalist, she is also a member of the celebrated String of Pearls female vocal trio, and the soulful and swinging Lanham and O'Connor vocal duo. Says Michael Bourne, WBGO-FM DJ and host of "Singers Unlimited," "Jeanne O'Connor knows all the songs, sings them beautifully - and she really swings." According to The New York Times, Jeanne "can belt out the innuendoes in Helen Humes's song "Million Dollar Secret" or the shouting joy in Louis Jordan's "Let the Good Times Roll" and can also sustain a ballad such as "Star Dust," without losing the sense or mood of the song." And of Jeanne's 2007 release, "Something's Coming," the Albany Times-Union raves, "Exquisite solo debut…With a buttery alto voice and nimble, graceful phrasing, O'Connor impressively weaves her way through the CD, tackling show tunes, smart pop songs and blues as well as time-honored jazz standards." Jeanne has brought her singing to clubs, cabarets, concert halls, and music festivals. She has appeared at New York's Blue Note, Elaine's, J's, the Rainbow Room, the Cat Club, Condon's and many other jazz clubs. She starred in the Irving Berlin trib
