Roseanna brings a wealth
of swing, melodic improvisation and heartfelt expression to
the jazz idiom. She combines a vibrant energy and spirit, a
deep understanding of the history and theoretical elements
of jazz with her rhythmic, soulful southern roots, to produce
unique sound and style. Her many CD's have featured Elvis Jones, "Fat
Head" Newman, George Coleman, Al Foster, Kenny Barron,
Kenny Werner, Gary Bartz and Fred Hersch. Roseanna was inducted
into the Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame in 1998 along with Bob
Dorough and John Stubbelfield. This was a great homecoming
and return to her roots.
Roseanna is currently in her ninth year as Director of the
Jazz Vocal Program at the New Jersey City University.
