Grammy nominated pianist/vocalist/radio host, Judy Carmichael is one of the world’s leading interpreters of stride and swing piano. Count Basie nicknamed her “Stride,” acknowledging the command with which she plays this technically and physically demanding jazz piano style.
Judy has taken this infectious style of music and her equally infectious personality everywhere from Paris nightclubs to Carnegie Hall.
Judy has been featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, Entertainment Tonight, CBS’ Sunday Morning, CNN’s Business Unusual, A Prairie Home Companion, Mornings With Margaret Throsby for the Australia Broadcast Corporation, Jo Soares in Brazil and the BBC’s Loose Ends, In Tune, Up All Night, Woman’s Hour and numerous other programs. Judy was the first woman jazz pianist to be asked to be a Steinway Artist.
