A virtuosic jazz singer and educator, Judy Niemack is recognized for her deeply lyrical style and harmonically adept vocalese technique. Mentored by Warne Marsh, Niemack emerged in the '70s with her debut album By Heart. She joined Cedar Walton for 1989's Blue-Bop and released a string of standards albums, including 1996's Night and the Music, 2003's About Time, 2007's Blue Nights, and 2017's Listening to You. Though a regular presence on the New York scene, Niemack has spent decades living in Europe, where she has taught jazz singing as a professor at Jazz Institut Berlin and the Basque School of Higher Music in Spain. In 2022, she was joined by guest saxophonist Eric Alexander on What's Love.
