Jazz vocal sensation CHRISTINE FAWSON will give Northern New Mexico jazz aficionados another opportunity to hear her amazing talent, this time in the setting of a tribute concert to one of her mentors, the great Nancy Wilson. I can't think of anyone else who can deliver the power of Nancy's voice and the many nuances that made her such a unique jazz vocal superstar. Christine has stunned our music scene with her remarkable talent, leaving audiences with the burning desire to hear more. So SFMC is once again stepping up to the plate to satisfy the need to pay musical respect to one of the all-time masters of jazz vocals in an intimate setting at SITE Santa Fe.
As a vocalist and trumpet player, CHRISTINE FAWSON has always loved performing classic standards from the American Songbook. Her new album features some of her favorite songs with her jazz quartet. The album, “A Jazz Voice” will be released in the summer of 2018. Her previous album “Here Now”, released in 2016, shows her originality in conjunction with some of the old songs she loves.
Christine was a member of the vocal jazz group Syncopation from 2002 through 2013. The group recorded three CDs – “A New Dance”, “Of Blue”, and “Wonderful You” – which were widely successful both in the United States and Japan. The group was featured with the Boston Pops Orchestra at the 2009 4th of July Celebration in Boston. Christine played trumpet with the DIVA Jazz Orchestra from 2004 through 2007. She performed with the band at such venues as Carnegie Hall, the Apollo Theater, and Lincoln Center in New York City, and with artists such as Anne Hampton Callaway, John Pizzarelli, Maurice Hines, and the New York Pops.
Christine played and sang with DIVA in concerts and festivals held in Europe and throughout the United States. Christine was a member of the brass faculty at Berklee College of Music from 2003 through 2017. Christine now calls New Mexico her home.
