Katie Bull

Katie Bull is a fresh York City-based jazz vocalist who brings a fascinating variety of affects to her shows. Bull continues to be inspired by the simple, understated vocalists from the Great College, including Helen Merrill and June Christy, but she’s also been inspired by even more cerebral artists such as for example Sheila Jordan, Jeanne Lee, and Betty Carter. Sometimes, components of Ella Fitzgerald are available in Bull’s performing. So when one provides many of these affects up, the outcome is really a recognizable vocalist who’s talented in her very own right; somebody who works well as both a scat vocalist and an interpreter of other’s lyrics. With regards to the mood she actually is in, Bull could be either abstract or warmly susceptible. Bull originates from an innovative family. Her dad was the past due jazz pianist Richard Bull, a Detroit indigenous who transferred to NEW YORK and used bandleader/pianist Lennie Tristano before engaging in choreography and contemporary dance. And her stepmother was the past due Cynthia Novack, another choreographer/contemporary dancer. Bull was created in N.Con.C. and it has resided there the majority of her lifestyle; we were young, she resided in the Greenwich Town and Tribeca parts of Manhattan. The vocalist, who is a vocal trainer since a minimum of 1994, mind an inter-arts business known as the Bull Family members Orchestra (whose actions include modern dance in addition to performing). In 2001, she documented her first recording, Conversations using the Jokers, that was released on Corn Hill Indie (a little, New York-based label) in March 2003.
