Dena DeRose, American Jazz Vocalist and Pianist, has recorded 11 CD’s as a leader with her latest on HighNote Records “We Won’t Forget You…An Homage to Shirley Horn” (May 2014). The CD received 4 Stars in Downbeat Magazine, nominated for Best Jazz Vocal album of 2014 by JazzTimes, and has had consistent airplay on US Jazz Radio Stations (including Internet Radio, Pandora, Sirius Satellite, etc) and has spent many months on the JazzWeek.com charts. This debut HighNote recording features her trio of 15+ years, Martin Wind (bass) and Matt Wilson (drums), and special guests Eric Alexander (tenor sax), Jeremy Pelt (trumpet), and Gary Smulyan (baritone sax). Dena’s much anticipated next release for HighNote is due out February of 2016.

All of her recordings have received 4 stars in Downbeat and 3 of her Maxjazz and her debut on HighNote recordings were considered for Grammy’s. Most recently, JazzTimes magazine included a feature article by Shaun Brady in the “Overdo Ovation” section on Dena in the Vocal Issue - December 2014. Dena has appeared on NPR’s Morning Edition, and was a guest on Marian McPartlands’ Piano Jazz three times including the 30th Anniversary show recorded live from Dizzy’s Coca-Cola Jazz Club (NYC).
