New Standards Jazz Crawl: Camille Thurman
Location:
In the Community
In celebration of the opening of a new performance space in Midtown Detroit’s Carr Center, the DIA will participate in New Standards Jazz Crawl, a series of performances by women composers curated by Terri Lyne Carrington.
Camille Thurman is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and unique interpreter of the jazz tradition. Fluid and powerful on the tenor saxophone and highly inventive as a vocalist, she also plays bass clarinet, flute, and piccolo. Her rich sax sound has been compared to Dexter Gordon, while her vocal approach—including an impressive scatting ability—has been classified alongside those of Ella Fitzgerald and Betty Carter. Thurman has shared stages with such jazz luminaries as George Coleman, Wynton Marsalis, Jack DeJohnette, Jon Batiste and Diana Krall among others.
