Not even 30 years old yet, Veronica Swift's command of the vocal-jazz tradition is astounding. Named Best New Artist in JazzTimes’ 2019 Readers’ Poll, Swift has toured as a featured vocalist with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Chris Botti. A master of vocalese and scat performance, she applies her gifts to genre-blurring works that continue to propel her rising star.
