Amazing Experience

We’ve had the pleasure of working with the Jazzwomen on a couple occasions at the Hurleyville Performing Arts Centre and our Tango Cafe venue, including live performances celebrating Women’s History Month. These women are incredibly talented musicians who bring so much energy, personality, & joy to their performances. They know how to connect with an audience and keep that energy going from beginning to end. We can’t recommend the Jazzwomen enough. Wonderful musicians and consummate professionals. Truly 10s across the board.

Kim is also an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s professional, flexible, communicative, and just genuinely easy to collaborate with. We also had the opportunity to work with her Blue Hearts Jazz group on specially curated Black History & Juneteenth events at HPAC. The programs were very intentional with a specific vision, and Kim completely understood what we were trying to create. The music was beautiful, poetic, and exactly what we needed for the sensitive subject matter. The live jazz really helped to transport our attendees into the time periods we were bringing to life, making a huge impact on the whole multi-media aspect & leaving a lasting impression on our attendees.

Performance Dec. 2025

Jazzwomen is a phenomenal group of jazz performers! After hearing the group perform in my neighborhood, I recently requested (and personally financed), a private performance in my senior living community in Cornwall, NY. Their response was quick and affirmative. The show was so well received, that my neighbors have not yet, nine months later, stopped asking me when the group would be returning. As a result, I have again requested and been granted, a repeat private performance for December 2026.

Always a hit!

The Jazzwomen are always a hit at the Newburgh Free Library. We get a full house whenever we have the group, and get many requests to have them back. Professional & fun to work with and host.
