Wesla Whitfield

About the Show

Wesla Whitfield inhabits that indeterminate zone where jazz and cabaret meet. Trained in classical music and opera, San Francisco-based Whitfield has toiled for more than three decades to become one of the most gifted performers breathing life into that exquisite body of Broadway tunes, movie songs, and Hit Parade numbers known as the Great American Songbook. With her deft sense of time and uncanny ability to connect with the emotional truth in a lyric, the jazz world has had no qualms about embracing her as one of its own. Accompanied by jazz greats Mike Greenskill, Michael Moore, Gary Foster, Tommy Flanagan and many others, her latest recording September Songs on HighNote records features The Kronos Quartet.
