Lisa Henry

International jazz vocalist, jazz educator, clinician, program developer and artistic director, Lisa Henry, is a combination of swingin’ cool and down home class. Her professional jazz career began in the nightclubs of Kansas City, MO at age 17. She was mentored by the great Hammond B-3 player, Everette DeVan, and cut her big band “teeth” performing with the Vince Bilardo Big Band and Steve Miller Orchestra. As a jazz educator, Lisa Henry takes the legacy and brilliance of jazz into classrooms and onto college campuses across the globe. Through interactive classroom and assembly programs, vocal clinics, music business workshops and performance adjudications, her teaching reaches students from preschool age to university level students.
