about

Critically acclaimed jazz vocalist JUDY WEXLER is known for her soulful, heartfelt vocals and her ability to find under-exposed gems and imbue them with warmth and wit. JazzTimes Magazine says, “Judy Wexler has carved out a jewel-like niche as a gracefully swinging singer who brings penetrating insight to American Songbook-adjacent material often over-looked by her colleagues.” On Back to the Garden, her 6th album, Wexler recasts iconic songs of the 1960s as jazz/pop anthems relevant for today’s social and political ethos. Although the arrangements of these songs are new, their message of love, hope and change is as timely as ever.

Wexler has been featured twice on NPR Weekend Edition with Susan Stamberg, who said, “Based on the evidence, Judy Wexler can sing almost anything.” She has toured the USA at storied jazz venues including Birdland, The Blue Note, Jazz Alley, Blues Alley, and Catalina Bar and Grill, among many others, and has headlined at performing arts centers and jazz festivals in Montreal, Tel Aviv, Dubai and San Jose. All of her albums have charted on the national JazzWeek radio chart, with two albums charting in the Top 5. Her prior CD, Crowded Heart, charted at #7 on Billboard’s Traditional Jazz Albums chart.

“Back to the Garden is quite a recording… Wexler's awesome vocal talent, dexterity, and expressive flair lavishly wash across the session.”
-- All About Jazz

“Judy Wexler—petite in stature, but tremendously talented and agile in artistry--delivers her finest performance and certainly most ambitious album to date.”
-- All About Jazz

“Back to the Garden breathes fresh life into these songs and gives them a jazz feel with the elegance and sensitivity they deserve… Much should be said about Judy's sparkling vocals and the shrewd arrangements. Passionate and reverential, Judy never tries to drag these sacred period songs into another space nor does she approach the material with the assumption they need a makeover. Instead, she sings as if she's of the music and the era, and she takes chances in the right places with a voice that is sufficiently agile and powerful to meet the songs' challenges on their own terms.” -- JazzWax
