Ann Mitchell Jazz has been hailed as one of Upstate New York’s musical gems. Ann has been delighting audiences for years with her vast repertoire that features classics that span the 1930’s - 1950’s Jazz era.
Ann Mitchell began singing as a freelance vocalist at the age of 16. Ann found her niche in jazz performance as the vocalist for the former bands, Brass Menagerie Big Band and Bob Ames & Co. Ann’s great focus has been to preserve and share the timeless songs recorded by artists such as Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London and more – through her own love and appreciation of these masters in their genre. Her interpretation and representation of the artists’ music are an inspiration to listeners of all ages and musical tastes. Mitchell, is also a versatile creator/performer of specialized shows: A Tribute to Peggy Lee, JUDY! A Song Is Born, The Fabulous Females of the 40’s/50’s and Songs of Burt Bacharach.
