Lucy Wijnands Trio

Lucy Wijnands, 26 year old award winning jazz vocalist grew up in Kansas City, also known as the Cradle of Jazz and home to many of the greats that include her father, master stride pianist, Bram Wijnands. Her early years were quite literally spent cradled on her fathers lap while his hands bounced from one side of the piano to the next, giving her an understanding of swing music at a very young age. As a teenager, she began singing at his gigs in Kansas City, further developing her style and later mastering it at SUNY Purchase as an Ella Fitzgerald Scholar. After being named the Ella Fitzgerald Competition Winner in 2021, Lucy is now a regular on NYCs jazz scene and has been described as a formidable vocal talent in the December 2023s Hot House Magazine. She released her debut album Something Awaits in the summer of 2023 and has since toured all over Europe and Asia. Lucy has it - something not easy to define in words, but the innate ability to marry notes and convey emotion with a down - to - earth authenticity, Jazz Lives, 2023.
