Women in Jazz with Tammy McCann

About the Event:

Tammy McCann discovered jazz as a college sophomore in a university hallway where she overheard someone practicing a composition by famed jazz pianist Thelonious Monk. That midnight moment became the catalyst for McCann’s storied career as a jazz vocalist, performing around the world with legends like Ray Charles.
