INTRODUCING JEFF MATSON
AWARD WINNER TRUDI MANN
According to her "official
bio" Kansas City (MO) native Trudi Mann has never wanted to do anything
but sing. She had her own trio in high school and went on to sing, professionally,
in all the important rooms in KC before taking her swinging jazz trio,
TRUDI MANN & MEN, on the road. Ms. Mann has appeared at the Texas Jazz
Festival; in Las Vegas and innumerable rooms and clubs, across the country.
Before settling permanently on Long Island, TRUDI MANN & MEN entertained
at Lake George, Gurney's Inn, in Montauk, a summer run in a Pocono Mountains
resort and a summer run in a Catskill Resort Hotel, where they were
credited with changing the 'face of music' in those areas, with their
intricate vocal arrangements. She has appeared in concerts in Mexico.
In the metropolitan area
she has appeared at Trumpets, Birdland and numerous occasions at the
world renowned Village Gate, at Trudy Heller's, Burt Bachrach's, Broadcaster's
Inn, The Riverboat, Cleopatra's Needle, Chez Suzette, Jan Wallman's,
Judy's, Harlem's famous Cotton Club, Yardbird Suite, Danny's Skylight
Room, Arci's Place, and many appearances at the world famous St. Peter's
Church Jazz Vespers and the Jazz at Noon Series. There have been numerous
library and festival concerts on Long Island. Currently, and for the
past 16 years, she has hosted New York City's premiere open mic for
singers, currently for Sunday brunch at LA BELLA'S (581 Second Avenue,
NYC - 212-683-3889).
I first met Trudi at the
long-closed VILLAGE GATE and was not only struck by her distinctive
vocals, but also by her genuine charm and friendliness. Always ready
to encourage and support new performers, Trudi has continued her mentoring
of singers in her weekly open-mic shows. Never judgmental, always
supportive, folks from all over the country have found in Trudi a
true and helpful friend. And whenever she gets the chance, Trudi is
there for performers at their debut cabaret shows and beyond - usually
with a number of other performers and fans from her Sunday brunch
events. Truly Trudy Mann is a worthy recipient of the award named
in honor of Jeff Matson, also known for his untiring support and mentoring
of cabaret performers.
