Born: September 24, 1949 Primary Instrument: Vocal
Rebecca Kilgore is one of America's leading song stylists and is passionate about preserving the vocal jazz of the 30s and 40s, an era which she feels remains unsurpassed in its high quality songwriting and heartfelt lyrics. Her mission is to learn every song from that era, and to swing in the process. With 32 recordings bearing her name, she is well on her way.
Her singing has been enriched through her many associations with jazz greats, especially composer/pianist Dave Frishberg with whom she recorded several CDs in the 1990s. In addition, she has sung at Carnegie Hall at the invitation of Michael Feinstein.
She has become a regular at jazz parties, jazz festivals and jazz cruises throughout the U.S. and Europe. Rebecca has been a frequent guest on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross, as well as Riverwalk Jazz, and a guest on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion.
