Acclaimed singer Wesla Whitfield is a gifted and distinctive interpreter of the Great American Songbook. With a classically-trained voice, an innate sense of jazz timing, and the storytelling flair of a great cabaret singer, she gets to the heart of a song's lyrics and melody. Although she calls San Francisco home, Whitfield is in constant demand in New York, where she captivates audiences in venues such as the Algonquin Oak Room, Le Jazz Au Bar, The Metropolitan Room and Joe's Pub at New York's Public Theater. She has also graced the stages of Town Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, and Carnegie Hall, and the Village Voice refers to her as “the best singer—jazz or whatever—around today.” Whitfield's husband and Music Director Mike Greensill provides piano accompaniment and instrumental arrangements that complement her singing and add to the drama of her interpretations. His arrangements showcase Whitfield's voice with groups as diverse as the Kronos Quartet and the Klingel Horns French Horn Quartet. For this performance, Greensill and Whitfield will be joined by longtime collaborators John Wiitala on bass and Vince Lateano on drums.
