Hear an interview with jazz vocalist DENISE KING

Whether she's singing jazz standards from Billie Holiday or belting out Gladys Knight R&B covers, Denise King puts her heart and soul into every note.

This West Philadelphia vocalist has been on the jazz scene for many years and shows no sign of slowing down any time in the near future.

She has performed at venues covering the United States and various places abroad, spreading the jazz message to all who will hear.

Although she has never received formal musical training (in fact, she doesn't even read music), it is clear from listening to her performances that she is very talented at drawing her audience in as she tells her stories as only she can. Denise has a very strong grasp on how jazz vocals should be delivered.

So far, Denise has produced four CDs (her latest is titled Fever) and has another project on the way.
