Lynn Bush is a singer following the jazz tradition of exploration and improvisation, a uniquely original sound with a west coast bent.
Seattle-based vocalist Lynn Bush has been winning critical acclaim ever since her debut CD "Still Life" featuring Seattle's grammy nominated trio, New Stories was released. Christopher Louden of Jazz Times writes "Backed by a masterful rhythm section ... she wades into challenging territory with admirable assurance. Equally impressive is her refreshingly offbeat approach" Dave Nathan, jazz critic for All Music Guide writes "Bush's voice is a marvel as it literally floats upon Seales' piano and Doug Miller's subtle bass as she puts her imprimatur on oft-played standards ... with her warm, contemporary approach."
This Midwest native has always been a singer, growing up in a home filled with Broadway show tunes and classical music. Singing professionally at 18 and working with musicians that had toured with the territory bands through the Midwest, she acquired a hands-on education singing everything from popular show tunes to obscure jazz standards, all delivered in a driving swing style that's rooted deep in the musical traditions of the Midwestern United States ...
