Lakeshore Music presents Veronica Swift Quartet with Benny Green on April 20, 2019. Veronica Swift, at 23, is perhaps the hottest young jazz singer in the country. She headlined Telluride Jazz Festival in 2016, her 10th appearance. Her first appearance at Jazz at Lincoln Center was at 11, when she performed at the “Women in Jazz” series at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. Swift recorded two CDs as a child, one at age 9 with Richie Cole and her mother and her father’s rhythm section, and one at age 13 with saxophonist Harry Allen.

The legendary Benny Green has played alongside the most celebrated artists of the last half century, and it’s no wonder he has been hailed as the most exciting, hard-swinging, hard-bop pianist to emerge from Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers.
