Chicago Jazz Singer Erin McDougald

April 5, 2006

Chicago jazz singer Erin McDougald hits #7 on the Top 20 Chart for April.  Erin is an amazing jazz vocalist who graduated from Columbia College Chicago several years ago and just hit the ground running. 

She’s a very talented artists and gives amazing performances in jazz clubs and select weddings each year in the Chicagoland area.  It would be a real treat to hire her for your wedding.

Here’s a blurb about her in the Meeting Place:

Flapper Girl Productions
The greatest yet from this young very talented dynamo from Columbus Ohio, same as Nancy Wilson. You may remember the outing of Wilson and eventual impact…
for this McDougald is a very different post modern vocalist in command of her material fused with the exciting Dan Cray Trio. They’re Chicago’s mark of another new
jazz thing, as Kurt Elling and Patricia Barber so answered before them.

Just wait til you hear this and you’ll know for certain how good this combustible trio and singer are together as a"Pat and Mike” scenario, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracey.... The electricity’s all here and you’ll hear it in the scenario of this young golden vocalist and this very talented pianist as they swing back and forth an interchange, both challenging, controversial and scintillating...with “Spring Is Here”, “Lullaby Of The Leaves”, and “Slow Boat To China” with jitterbug intensity. 

“What’s New” is a total refrain with Erin’s high end perfectly hip Celtic symbolism, accompanied by incredible bass lines of Clark Summers. Listen to the dichotomy, between the two… Pure love. Then her own “Sing Me The Blues” is not gut throat shout, more a Dorothy Parker ironic view.  You were there, I was too.  Too encumbered to talk about.  The subtleties are what make this music so great!  And you’ll be drawn to a texture of harmonious blue, what a few knew ...an existential view...an Albert Camus raises Erin a new… Man, I dig her too, I really really do.

A combustible chemistry with the Dan Cray Trio is what this is about.
