Judy Wexler is a natural storyteller, with a distinctive voice full of shadings. She knows how to dig into a song and find its essence. Her debut CD, Easy on the Heart, made radio waves and introduced her to a wide jazz audience. Her follow-up, Dreams & Shadows, debuted at #2 on the national JazzWeek chart and confirmed her ability to find great songs and effortlessly bring them to life. Under a Painted Sky, Judy’s third CD, is being released on the Jazzed Media label in June 2011. Her most personal project to date, Under a Painted Sky, marries Judy’s expressive storytelling with the inventive and richly harmonic arrangements of pianist Alan Pasqua. Judy has sung internationally and throughout the U.S. at jazz festivals and leading jazz venues.
