Tammy McCann Biography
Power and Versatility - the vocals of Chicago native Tammy McCann provdie both qualities in a variety of musical settings. Studying with Kenwood Academy's Dr. Lena Mclin throughout her youth, McCann exposed her immense vocal talents with an opera recital at the tender age of fifteen. After receiving a classical voice scholarship to Virginia Union University, McCann's resume expanded rapidly. She graced Chicagoland hotspots including Park West, Green Dolphin, and Jazz Bulls before using her multi-lingual capabilities to spread her voice across the globe. Notable appearances include endeavors with the following artists: George Duke, Von and George Freeman, Ramsey Lewis, Voices of Glory, Five Blind Boys of Alabama, Wonderbrass, and Bernie Mac.
Tammy McCann's recent release entitled "Classic" continues to please listeners with insightful, innovative renditions of eleven jazz standards. Selections range from Latin versions of "Happy Talk" and "Autumn Leaves" to emotional, piano-driven ballads like "Lush Life" and "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair." Ramsey Lewis veterans Ari Brown (saxophones) and Ernie Adams (drums) join Dan McNaughton (bass) and Tom Vaitsas (piano) to support McCann's vocals.

This young sista is joy to my ears she sings Candy & lord works the Nearness of You. Bring it on Girl!
This Girl has always been BAD!
author: Margaret Murphy-WebbI'm sitting here typing at the computer while listening to Tammy sing "Candy" and remembering the first time I heard her in a small club in the south suburbs of Chicago. Today, just as I was on that day, I'm blown away by the power and intensity of her voice. She is an extremely talented vocalist who knows how to sing a ballad as sweetly as Sarah, then swing out like Ella, then switch it again and send chills up and down your spine with a rousing bluesy rendition of "At Last." Tammy is truly someone who needs to be heard! I love this CD.
It's been a long time...Great Vocals!
author: Sharon WilliamsThis CD is great! You can set it and forget it. No skipping around here. CD Baby was great too. Excellent customer service.
A singer's singer combining swinging jazz with a touch of soul
author: T. A. AndrianoNice blend of American Songbook tunes. This singer has excellent control of her instrument wheather singing a ballad or up tempo. The CD is a joy to the ears.
dynamic, soothing, compelling, caressing
author: Aminah McCloudI am a serious consumer of jazz vocals and this voice reminded me of sarah Vaughn, Nina simone, Dinah Washington, and a little bit of Ella rolled into one. The clarity was as sparkling as Betty Carter. I can not wait for the next CD.
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS
author: Carol DillardI had the opportunity to hear her both live and on Classic and I must write this woman is a treasure; it's been a long time since I've witnessed this kind of pure talent. Her voice is a welcome change from all the studio artists that permeate the airways these days. It's incredibly nice to listen to an artist who so profoundly masters her instrument and shares her passions!
