Spencerport resident Ann Mitchell has been hailed as one of Upstate New York’s musical “gems” and also as a new found hidden “treasure” for those who happen to meet and hear her for the very first time. She has been delighting audiences for many years with her vast repertoire and vocals that feature timeless classics spanning the Jazz era from the 1930s through the 1950s.
Ann’s great focus has been to preserve and share songs recorded by artists such as Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London and Judy Garland – through her own love and appreciation of these masters in their genre. Her interpretation and representation of these artists’ music appeals to listeners of all ages and musical tastes.
Ann’s latest recording, Ann Mitchell – Again … for the first time, is now available for the public to own. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Andy Calabrese. The songs that Ann chose to record were written by Gershwin, Rogers and Hart, Coleman and Leigh, Warren, and Bacharach. Her jazz musicians, Michael Van Allen, John Gabriele, Kyle Vock, Christos Dembeyiotis, and Ralph DeBergalis, have a real understanding of Ann’s vocal style and song interpretation. Albums are $15 and can be ordered at annsings.com, where more information is also available.
Those wishing to hear Ann perform in person will have an opportunity on Thursday, February 15. The Ann Mitchell Jazz Trio will be featured in the Jazz 90.1 Greece Baptist Church Concert Series. The concert starts at 7 p.m. at the church, 1230 Long Pond Road, Rochester.
