Lynette Washington

This phenomenal jazz vocalist is a native New Yorker and has had a career that has taken her across the globe. Her travel has also enabled her to learn to sing in quite a few international languages. Although Lynette's singing style is heavily rooted in the jazz, R&B, and gospel arenas, Lynette nurtured her early professional singing career performing in Russian nightclubs throughout New York City and Europe. She recorded on the early GRP releases of Jazz Trumpeter Tom Browne as well with her own R&B/Dance group Touche' on Emergency Records.

She has worked with such well-known artists such as Aretha Franklin, U2, and Peter Gabriel and was featured lead singer in New Voices of Freedom appearing in U2's Rattle & Hum, BBC's One World, One Voice, and Lenny Kravitz's; Give Peace A Chance on Virgin Records. Lynette has also recorded radio commercials and appeared in national TV commercials for Roy Rogers, Mercedes Benz, Boy's Town, Nescafe and Pizza Hut.

She has appeared with such jazz notables as drummers Buddy Williams & Anton Fig, saxophonists Clifford Jordan & Gerry Niewood and bassists Alex Blake and Cameron Brown. Her three Cds Smoky Dawn, LIVE! In Harlem with Dennis Bell Jazz NY and Long, Long Ago (A Jazz Celebration of Christmas, Chanukah & Kwanzaa) have been featured on over 75 U.S. and International Radio Stations.

She is currently the jazz vocal feature in both the United Kingdom and French Apple iTunes Music Stores and was the #5 top jazz download in the United States Apple iTunes Music Store. Recently Lynette was the featured vocalist on WBGO's Singer's Unlimited Show with Michael Bourne and appeared as the 2005 Jazzmobile/Anheuser-Busch Jazz Vocalist Competition Winner at WBLS's Croton Music Festival and at the City Of Yonkers' Friday Night Jazz Festival in the Yonker's Sculpture Garden.

Her NYC Club appearances: Creole, The River Room, Sweet Rhythm, Azalea, Opa, The Lenox Lounge, and now... Solomon's Porch!
