Borla’s recordings and
performances have earned her consistently high praise for
her beautiful sound, superb technique, adventurous
repertoire and imaginative vocal improvisations. With her
new CD, she continues to expand the parameters of jazz
vocal repertoire and the use of the voice as an
instrument. Often cited for her adventurous, risk-taking
approach, she continually challenges herself, keeping
vocal improvisation front-and-center in her performances.
A recognized pioneer in vocal jazz education, she founded
the Janice Borla Vocal Jazz Camp, now in its 19th season.
Following her set, from 2:00-3:00 p.m. Janice will be
signing her CD release at the Borders onsite store,
located in the Petit Trianon on the third floor of the
Hilton, adjacent to the Trianon Ballroom. The IAJE
Conference is the world’s largest jazz gathering,
attracting over 8,000 educators, musicians, music industry
executives, media and students from 45 countries. The
four-day conference will include presentations and
performances featuring many of the world’s most respected
professional jazz groups and musicians. Ms. Borla

minimum.
January 11th is the first full day
of activities during the International Association of Jazz

quality music on the main stages of the convention. The
convention's festival-like activities also spill over and
extend into the many jazz clubs around town. To be
included in the programming at 55Bar on Jan 11th is an extraordinary break
for this band; we want to fill the room as best we can! Katie
Bull - jazz vocals, Michael Jefry Stevens - piano (look
who's in town from Memphis!), Joe Fonda - bass,
Harvey Sorgen - drums, Jeff Lederer - saxophones.
