vocalsAbout
A jazz vocalist whose beautiful sound is matched by her exquisite taste, she's an incisive interpreter of classic American standards who is steeped in the tradition but not bound by it. With her keen ear for drama and supple sense of phrasing she uncovers new emotional terrain whether exploring familiar fair or the American Songbooks back pages. Since returning to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2010, she's emerged as one of the most rewarding song stylists in a region renowned for its brimming pool of jazz vocal talent.
I'm always trying to find a song that has a lyric that I can make my own, says DuMaine. I really love discovering these unmined gems from the American Songbook, songs that aren't overplayed. And if a song is well known, I love finding an obscure verse or playing it a different way, interpreting a swing tune as a bossa nova, or swinging a ballad....
