Kitty Margolis, vocals; with her Trio

A hometown favorite in the Bay Area, this North Beach denizen has filled houses--and brought them down--all over the world. Margolis was one of the 90s innovators who prepared the way for this year's models (Gretchen Parlato, Becca Stevens, Rebecca Martin), but she's still way out front. And along with the pioneers whose torch she carries--mavericks like Betty Carter and Sheila Jordan--her powerfully supple voice, her inventive phrasing, and her deft improvisation have won her plenty of love from jazz instrumentalists.

"Like few other singers, she is expanding and contemporizing the vocal jazz vernacular. Spectacular."
