Nationally recognized singer, Cory Jamison, is one of the leading cabaret/jazz artists in America. She celebrates the best of American Song-old and new. Her unique interpretations of the popular songbook have captivated audiences coast to coast in venues ranging from New York’s Town Hall in the east, to Davenport’s Piano Bar and The Chicago Jazz Festival in the midwest, and to The Rrazz Room and The Cinegrill in the west. According to The Chicago Tribune, “Here is a triple-threat performer whose obvious musicianship, interpretive savvy, and lovely lyric instrument cannot help but disarm an audience.”

Jamison emerged on the national scene with her critically acclaimed centennial tribute to the composer Hoagy Carmichael and her debut CD “Here’s to Hoagy” which became the top selling CD of 2000 on the LML Music label.
Here's to Hoagy by Cory Jamison (Oct 9, 2001). The Chicago Tribune’s annual CD review ranked it 4th out of the year’s Top Ten Jazz Releases claiming, “If the centennial of Hoagy Carmichael is going to inspire just one new recording, then this release deserves to be it.”

Kenton's Cool School Her 2nd CD, “Kenton’s Cool School” was released in 2008 on her own label, CJam Records. This diverse collection celebrates the musical legacies of the three jazz singers, June Christy, Chris Connor, and Anita O’Day, and in adding her own distinct interpretation to each tune, Jamison brings their artistry to a new generation. Jersey Jazz writes, “Something Cool,” a title that nicely describes what Jamison has achieved with this album…a joy to hear.”

She has charmed audiences throughout the US with her insightful and sensitive interpretations of American popular song. Jamison is best known for her critically acclaimed interpretations of Hoagy Carmichael's music. Her popular Carmichael tribute, Star Dust Melodies, has been extended numerous times at Toulouse on the Park, Chicago's premier cabaret room, and was called "A masterful homage to Hoagy" by Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune. Jamison is currently taking Star Dust Melodies on a national tour, which began at New York's Eighty-Eight's cabaret club and continues nationally through 2000.  As the leading interpreter of Carmichael's music, Jamison was the featured Carmichael performer at the 1999 Chicago Jazz Festival with Dick Sudhalter, the Bloomington Pops Carmichael Celebration Concert with Randy Carmichael, and the Chicago Humanities Festival Carmichael Centennial event with Hoagy Bix Carmichael. Further documenting her passion for Hoagy's music, Jamison has recently released a CD tribute, Here's to Hoagy, with accompanist and musical director Dan Stetzel. According to the Chicago Tribune's CD review, "If the centennial of Hoagy Carmichael is going to inspire just one new recording, then this release deserves to be it." The CD is available nationally through LML Music.
