Jazz Singer Judy Chamberlain Dallas. Los Angeles.

“Jazz singer Judy Chamberlain solidly affirms the music’s far-reaching, continuing vitality.” Don Heckman, L.A. Times

“Judy Chamberlain is a singer who’s always a pleasure to hear. In part, because her astonishing repertoire makes every performance a fascinating journey through a century of song. But even more so because she brings such care, authenticity and musicality to everything she touches.” The International Review of Music

“Name a song, and she’ll sing it.” The Dallas Morning News

Named “one of the top jazz singers of all time” by author Scott Yanow, Judy Chamberlain has garnered praise for bringing out the best in her extraordinary musicians, playing to their various strengths. It helps that, as former L.A. Times jazz critic Don Heckman has said, “she knows more songs than anyone who has ever lived.”

Listeners have often said they feel as if they’re hearing the lyrics for the first time.

Sometimes they are!

With the timeless tunes of the Jazz Age 1920’s, sophisticated 1930’s, 1940’s cinema noir, mid-century movie musicals and an enormous respect for the saloon stylings of one Francis Albert Sinatra — Chamberlain’s performances evoke the glamour, fun and romance of America’s Golden Era.

Her repertoire includes the marvelous songs written by of Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Richard Rogers & Lorenz Hart, Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Carmichael, Harry Warren, Harold Rome, Harold Arlen, Alec Wilder, Kurt Weill, Sammy Cahn, Jules Stein, Cy Coleman, Leonard Cohen, Papa John Phillips, Paul Anka and other revered Twentieth Century composers.

During a three-decade career in Los Angeles, Chamberlain worked with, performed for and collaborated with many of the musical icons who wrote, arranged and/or recorded the definitive versions of the songs she sings.

“You’re just like ‘the Old Man,’ cookie,” guitarist Al Viola

Guitarist Al Viola, a longtime mainstay of Frank Sinatra’s band and recordings, as well as well as more than 500 studio soundtracks — that’s his mandolin you hear in the Godfather movies — worked with Judy for many years and often compared her to Mr. Sinatra, whom he affectionately called “the old man.”

“Judy takes care of business and sings the hell out of a tune the way Sinatra did,” said Viola. “She can come out of nowhere and take the pickup on the song and the band is instantly with her because she gives great signals. Like Sinatra, she’s always in the moment and never does anything the same way twice. Her timing and phrasing are impeccable. I love working with her, because I’m never bored.”

“Look at all these people, having the time of their lives,” Viola said to Judy one night from their perch on the bandstand.

“And you were here, cookie.”
