"One of the most important new jazz singers of her generation to emerge, Michelle Walker is shaping her own path with a unique style and a creative flare for arranging straight-ahead jazz standards and contemporary tunes." 
- Birdland Jazz Club

Bending the lines between swing, bebop, soul and blues by pushing the boundaries of jazz vocal art, this charismatic jazz vocalist sings with rich colors and adventurous flexibility.  She moves easily from a dark, deep tone to a mid-range, swinging lilt.

She has just come off an extraordinary touring season, with multiple concerts in Thailand, Kazakhstan, Europe, Russia and Jakarta, Indonesia where she debuted as a headliner at The Java Jazz Festival which also featured Kurt Elling, Patti Austin, Monty Alexander, The Yellowjackets, Chris Botti, Eric Benet, David Foster, Robin Thicke, Sting and more. 

JGP RECORDS has released the sophomore recording of vocalist/arranger/composer Michelle Walker titled LOVE MISERY. The CD is a collection of tunes that thematically chronicle a love affair from the first Hello, with the opening track being a warm Afro-cuban arrangement of Lionel Ritchie's "Hello", to the final goodbye, with the final track being a Shirley Horn worthy, heart-wrenchingly slow ballad of "The Party's Over". "The first half of the tunes on the record are about love and the second half of the record is about the misery of love..." says Walker.

Having lived in the New York City area for years after relocating from Washington, DC, Walker quickly established herself as one of the most respected singers in New York.  Birdland Jazz Club hailed of Walker after her sold out debut performance.  "....Masterful!" 

Walker also performs regularly at Smoke Jazz Club, Zinc Bar, Jazz at The Kitano and The 55 Bar around the New York City area. She was a finalist in the Jazzmobile Vocal Competition and has been nominated multiple times by the Washington Area Music Association awards (WAMA) for best jazz vocalist, best recording, best jazz group as well as receiving an Indie Award for best independent vocal jazz recording for her debut record "Slow Down". 

Michelle studied vocal performance at The University of Maryland, College Park as well as the Amsterdam Conservatory of Music and has toured in concert with jazz legendary vocalist Mark Murphy.

Michelle has such a tender and honest sincerity in her vocal approach. Her warm, sensual voice is captivating and in the years since transplanting herself in New York City, Walker has performed in over 1,500+ concerts in the US and over 250+ concerts throughout Europe, Russia, Israel and Far East.  Michelle has been invited to perform at The White House for the lighting of the National Christmas Tree and The Diet Coke Women in Jazz Festival at The Lincoln Center. 

With her unique delivery, informed arrangements and beautiful warm tone, Michelle Walker is poised well for a great career as one of the best new voices in jazz.

Major influences are Sarah Vaughn, Betty Carter, Mark Murphy, Shirley Horn, Nat King Cole, Mel Torme, Peggy Lee, Kenny Rankin, Kurt Elling, Patti Austin and Julie London. She is often compared to Cassandra Wilson, Diana Krall, Betty Carter, Gregory Porter, Melody Gardot, Holly Cole and Diane Reeves.

PILZ4JAZZ is a music design team that has just recorded their album debut entitled "17 Designer Pills for Jazz-Sonic Euphoria!". PILZ4JAZZ was brought together to pay homage to some of America's best jazz musicians and to celebrate their contribution during the eras they thrived in. From N.Y.C., the five members are: sax-"GURU" Charlie LaGondola Italian-American, "Spyder" Nicks on bass African-American, pianist YAYA Ikawa Japanese, Lisa Gary Jewish-American and Almax drummer, producer, founder and conceptualist is a combination of Black, Japanese and Italian. Ranging from their 20's through their 60's, each of the four instrumentalist members, individually, worked diligently to write a memorable instrumental theme song of the highest integrity, reminiscent of the great jazz standards. They then collectively strengthened their individual original songs and arrangements by meditating then welcoming new ideas from the other members of the band after tirelessly experimenting. Finally (with just the right blend of incense), they recorded, fully crediting all 4 instrumental versions of the songs as "collaborative original compositions" on this their PILZ4JAZZ debut album. They then put on their research and development lab coats and applied all of their attention towards  completing the PILZ4JAZZ concept with Ms. Lisa Gary 26, rehearsing all of the lyrics and melodies on these 4 songs.
