Isthmus Jazz Festival 2013....

Isthmus Jazz Festival 2013 features acclaimed vocalist Carmen Lundy on June 21-22

The Isthmus Jazz Festival will feature nine regional acts on June 21 and 22 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Memorial Union Terrace. The headliner is acclaimed vocalist Carmen Lundy, who plays at UW Music Hall on June 22. All the performances are free.

Lundy has been in the top rank of jazz singers since the 1970s, recording a dozen albums as a leader and collaborating with such stellar names as Kenny Barron, Ron Carter and Geri Allen. She holds the stage with her powerful pipes and improvisational flair, but what really sets her apart is her material. Lundy has written dozens of compositions, so expect something more intriguing than the usual evening of standards.

The regional acts perform on the Union Terrace on June 21 (4:30-11:30 p.m.) and 22 (4-11:30 p.m.). The lineup includes the soulful Chicago singer Typhanie Monique, Chicago’s hard-bop group the Mike Frost Project, the Milwaukee sextet We Six, and Madison's swinging Get Down, Mr. Cat! There will be showcases for student talent and late-night sets suitable for dancing.
