Details:
Maria Postell is a consummate performer and vocalist. Her voice has been compared to that of Nancy Wilson, Barbara Streisand and Jane Monheit. Her vocal and emotional range is as impressive as it is authentic, with the ability to soothe and arouse one’s sensibilities. One critic notes: "This is music to soothe the heart in a spastic world. Maria Postell''s beautifully expressive voice is complimented by very engaging instrumentation."
Maria began her career in the 1970s, in Boston, gigging and collaborating with innovative musicians from the Berklee School of Music. During that time she had the opportunity to work with many established jazz greats such as, Dave McKenna, Dick Johnson, Claudio Roditi, Joe Lovano, and Paul Broadnax. On many occasions she made guest appearances on WGBH in Boston with music impresario, Ron Della Chiesa. After moving to NYC in the 1980’s, Maria has performed in the top NYC music establishments and toured throughout North America.
In 1985 Maria recorded her first solo album with Dave McKenna, considered the pianist’s pianist, and Don Thompson, a renowned Canadian jazz pianist, bassist and vibraphonist. Four songs from this album were recorded with Dave McKenna and Maria: The Very Thought of You, Isn’t It a Pity, Funny Valentine and When Sunny Gets Blue.
