St. Louis native Jan Shapiro is not only a great voice teacher—she’s been on the faculty of Boston’s Berklee College of Music for the past 31 years. Retired in the summer of 2017, Jan is also a world-class practitioner of the art of jazz singing. That fact is particularly evident on the exquisitely intimate Piano Bar After Hours, her fourth CD (and third for her own Singing Empress label), on which she applies her glowing, pitch-perfect three-octave pipes to a thoughtfully chosen program of old standards and pop songs of more recent vintage.
Featuring Jan Shapiro - Vocals and Keyboards, Dave Black - Guitar, Eric Warren - Bass, and Chuck Kennedy - Drums.
