Holiday Swingin' A Kat Edmonson Christmas

Thu, Dec 07

"Hearing Edmonson makes it virtually impossible to do anything but stop and listen." - NPR “Hypnotic elegance and a voice beyond her years.” - The Philadelphia Inquirer Jazz Vivace proudly presents Kat Edmonson as part of the Winter 2024 Jazz Series. Kat Edmonson is an award-winning songwriter and singer "with an equal foothold in jazz, cabaret, and vintage cosmopolitanism pop" (The New York Times). Raised on the music and film of the early-to-mid-twentieth century, Kat is a rare artist who embodies the spirit of the past while remaining resolutely au courant. She performs original songs and familiar classics in her live show, interweaving humorous anecdotes, philosophical musings, and her love of film with disarming candor and vulnerability. Her longtime band members’ keen and sensitive accompaniment allows Kat to veer off-script as she’s often inclined to do freely. She has been featured on Austin City Limits, Tiny Desk Concerts, A Prairie Home Companion, and The Tonight Show. Kat’s sixth studio album Holiday Swingin’! A Kat Edmonson Christmas Vol. 1 was released in November of 2021 and was included on the NY Times list of "13 Albums That Revisit (and Redefine!) Holiday Classics" and was described by Jazziz as "impeccably hip”. In 2020, the vintage-pop and jazz artist was on a 40-city tour promoting her new critically acclaimed album Dreamers Do when the pandemic struck. Kat quickly transformed her living room into an attractive set where she performed live every Sunday night at 7 PM ET. Drawing from her love of old variety shows, Kat dubbed her livestream The Kat Edmonson Show. Her modern-day variety show ran for 66 episodes. Kat Edmonson and her band have recorded a Christmas album including Yule-tide favorites such as “Jingle Bell Rock,” “O Christmas Tree,” and “Let It Snow.” Holiday Swingin’! A Kat Edmonson Christmas Vol. 1 (released 11/09/2021) was described by Jazziz as “impeccably hip” and included in the New York Times “13 Albums That Revisist (and Redefine!) Holiday Classics”.
