SHARON CLARK QUINTET
Sharon Clark started singing at the age of seven and has not stopped since. Throughout her early years, Ms. Clark performed in numerous church and school concerts, talent shows and private events. Even at a young age, her talents as a singer were evident, with her capturing many first place awards and receiving accolades for her performances. Over the ensuing years, Ms. Clark performed and explored many music forms, but found jazz – the music loved by her father – to be her true love as well. She has dedicated herself to keeping alive the tradition of the “girl singer” so common during the early days of jazz. Her repertoire includes not only those songs we now call “jazz standards” but also the lesser known songs performed by her heroes and heroines of the jazz world – Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Johnny Hartman, and Nancy Wilson, to name a few.
