DIRECT FROM NEW YORK CITY
RISING STAR JAZZ VOCALIST /TROMBONIST
elizabeth!
- Thursday, June 18th
ELIXIR at The Freight House, the Upper Valley's premier destination for fine
dining and live music, proudly presents the return of one of New York City's
fastest rising stars - elizabeth! - an amazingly talented jazz vocalist and
trombonist who performs with her father, DAVID WESTPHALEN, on bass, and FRED
HAAS on piano, on Thursday, June 18th, 2008, from 8 to 11 pm.
Vocalist and trombonist elizabeth! is one of the most in-demand bandleaders
and side musicians in New York City. Her working band performs her sultry
arrangements of jazz standards as well as her catchy original tunes, and her
new recording, "hot & silver," shows off her beautiful phrasing and
sensitivity. Her musicianship and enthusiasm (and dance moves) have made her
a popular choice for tours and recordings with artists in genres ranging
from country to indie rock to hip-hop. In April of 2008 she performed with
her own quintet at New York's Jazz @ Lincoln Center's Dizzy's Club Coca
Cola. She has made appearances at Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, and Lincoln
Center, and on "Good Morning America" with the Metro Mass Gospel Choir and
has toured with St. Vincent, opening for The Arcade Fire. Currently she
tours with Michael Bolton. elizabeth! has performed with the Rebirth and
Dirty Dozen Brass Bands at the Blue Note, Wetlands, B.B. King's, and the
Knitting Factory, and has done radio commercial work and recording with
countless artists, including The Mooney Suzuki, Chris Potter, Matt Wilson,
and Money Mark of the Beastie Boys.
Before dropping her last name for a mark of punctuation (!), Elizabeth
Dotson-Westphalen grew up in a very musical family in Woodstock, Vermont,
garnering accolades in both music and theater. While at Harvard University,
she studied cognitive neuroscience and psychology and immersed herself in
the Boston music scene. She played lead trombone with the Harvard Jazz Band,
under the direction of Tom Everett, and performed with many of the top names
in jazz; a particularly special concert featured Randy Weston and
Elizabeth's recreation of Melba Liston's "My Reverie." Other activities
included touring with the nutty Hasty Pudding Theatricals, directing the
jazz department and spinning records at WHRB, and playing a weekly gig with
a drag queen. (So much for the typical ivory tower education!) She has
studied with Phil Wilson, Sheila Jordan, JD Walter, Michael Philip Mossman,
and Antonio Hart - mostly through the curriculum at Queens College, where
she earned a Master's Degree in Jazz Vocal Performance in 2006.
elizabeth! is based in Brooklyn and maintains an active touring and
recording schedule. For more information, visit:
