Hillside Club presents the Oakland Jazz Choir w/ Guest Vocalist Stephanie Crawford

Join us for an exciting musical event at the Hillside Club featuring the Oakland Jazz Choir alongside guest vocalist Stephanie Crawford. This performance highlights Crawford, an internationally acclaimed singer and a remarkable black trans vocal musician who has made her mark in the predominantly straight jazz scene. Born in 1942 in Detroit, Michigan, Crawford's love for music flourished after overcoming life challenges, including gender reassignment surgery, and she began performing publicly at the age of 36. With a rich background studying under renowned pianist Barry Harris and performing in prestigious venues across Paris and New York, Crawford captivates audiences as an interpreter of the American and Brazilian songbook, reminiscent of jazz legends like Sarah Vaughan and Carmen McRae. Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience a live performance of the Oakland Jazz Choir in collaboration with Crawford. Tickets are on sale now!
