Teresa Broadwell & Thrivin’ on a Riff 

 

Celebrating over 20 years together as a band, Teresa Broadwell's group will perform hot swing, standards and straight-ahead jazz. Teresa is a jazz vocalist and violinist. Her horn-like style of scatting and creative jazz phrasing has earned her the notoriety and respect she has enjoyed from New York audiences as well as the greater Northeast and Midwest.

 

Teresa Broadwell's Thrivin' on A Riff repertoire includes Swing, Jump, Big Band and 50's style boogie music. They play the music of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Benny Goodman and others of the swing era.

 

The group features a rhythm section of drums, guitar and bass, a horn section and Teresa on vocals and violin. Teresa Broadwell is known for her wonderfully creative arrangements of vintage swing and rock tunes, and her superb voice and fiddle.

 

Teresa Broadwell holds a Bachelor of Music from Crane School of Music and a MA in Jazz Studies from the College of St. Rose, where she directs the Vocal Jazz Ensemble and teaches jazz voice and violin.
