Stella By Starlight: Vicki Burns Sings a Tribute to Anita O’Day at Green Room 42

Vicki Burns sings from the heart in a sparkling tribute to celebrated jazz vocalist Anita O’Day, known for her dynamic, rhythmically-assured vocals. Burns and her stellar trio - Art Hirahara on piano, Steve Wood on bass, and Phil Stewart on drums - shine on iconic tunes such as "Sweet Georgia Brown," "Honeysuckle Rose," and "Tea For Two."

With her three-octave range, sure sense of rhythm, and perfect intonation, jazz vocalist Vicki Burns can scat convincingly, swing like a horn, and write hip songs worthy of attention from other vocalists. She has performed at some of the top jazz clubs and festivals around the country, such as Ryles, 1369 Club, the Starlight Roof, and The Hilton Boston Back Bay in Boston, as well as The Garden City in San Jose, The San Jose Museum of Art’s “Women in Jazz” series, the San Jose Jazz Festival, The Great American Music Hall with the Oakland Jazz Choir, Kimball’s East, and the Fillmore Street Jazz Festival. She has opened for Billy Taylor and Max Roach in the “Bright Moments” Concert series in Amherst, MA., and was featured on “Music America,” a syndicated WGBH public radio broadcast. In NYC, she has performed at top venues such as Birdland, Iridium Jazz Club, Jazz at Kitano, The Plaza Hotel, Zinc Bar and Mezzrow. From 2013- 2018, she performed regularly at the legendary Cornelia Street Cafe and currently has a monthly residency at The Stayton Room in the Lexington Hotel. She has produced three CDs as a leader: Siren Song (2005), Live at Anna’s Jazz Island (2008), and her 2022 release Lotus Blossom Days. Jazz writer Marc Myers said, "Vicki's voice on Lotus Blossom Days is warm and round, sophisticated and optimistic with shades of blue. She also takes terrific risks that pay off.” For more information: vickiburnsjazz.com
