Chicago-area jazz vocalist and Blujazz recording artist Janice Borla will be featured in concert with her group at this year's IAJE conference. Borla and her group will be performing selections from her new CD From Every Angle (Blujazz), which has already received abundant critical acclaim and radio airplay since its release in late October, remaining on Jazz Week's Top 50 CDs for the past six weeks.

Borla's recordings and performances have earned her consistently high praise for her beautiful sound, superb technique, adventurous repertoire and imaginative vocal improvisations. With her new CD, she continues to expand the parameters of jazz vocal repertoire and the use of the voice as an instrument. Often cited for her adventurous, risk-taking approach, she continually challenges herself, keeping vocal improvisation front-and-center in her performances.

“She shatters the stereotype of the jazz vocalist as a poseur or wannabe, infatuated with the idea of improvisation but lacking the mettle to carry it off: she's a musician who happens to play voice" --Neil Tesser, Chicago Reader

“The Illinois-based vocal conjurer's skills have grown even more magical ...as alluringly hypnotic as Lani Hall ... evinces the immaculate musicianship of Irene Kral ... rivals the jazz smarts of Annie Ross ... She's a singular force to be examined, and appreciated, from every angle"--Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times

Following her set, from 2:00-3:00 p.m. Janice will be signing her CD release at the Borders onsite store, located in the Petit Trianon on the third floor of the Hilton, adjacent to the Trianon Ballroom.

The IAJE Conference is the world's largest jazz gathering, attracting over 8,000 educators, musicians, music industry executives, media and students from 45 countries. The four-day conference will include presentations and performances featuring many of the world's most respected professional jazz groups and musicians.
