Critical Acclaim

Judy Carmichael is one of a handful of young musicians who carry on the tradition of jazz from a perspective of its entire history. Choosing to study jazz piano from its early roots on, she explores the music deeply, infusing it with a "fresh, dynamic interpretation all her own" (Washington Post).

The musician that critics have referred to as "astounding, flawless and captivating" (The New York Times) has played in a variety of venues from Carnegie Hall with Skitch Henderson and the New York Pops, to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice (the first concert ever presented by the museum) to a jazz cruise with Benny Carter. Ms. Carmichael has done comic skits and performed her music on radio and TV with Al Hirt and Garrison Keillor, among others. In addition, she is on the roster of Steinway artists.

Ms. Carmichael has been featured on CBS’ Sunday Morning, National Public Radio's Morning Edition,and Entertainment Tonight. She is included in a number of jazz anthologies as well as "Who’s Who in the East", "Who’s Who in Finance and Industry in America", "Who’s Who in AmericanWoman","American Women in Jazz" and the "Encyclopedia of Jazz".
