VIT Presents Dominique Eade and Jed Wilson Jul 24, 2007
On Tuesday, July 24, VIT presents a special seminar with vocalist Dominique Eade and pianist Jed Wilson.
Eade attended the Berkeley School of Music and the New England Conservatory. In 1990, Eade released her first CD, The Ruby and the Pearl (Accurate Records). In 1996 Eade signed with RCA Victor where she recorded two critically acclaimed CDs, When the Wind Was Cool and The Long Way Home. She has been on the faculty of New England Conservatory since 1984 and also teaches privately in New York as well as traveling the United States and Europe as a clinician and performer.
Wilson grew up in Gladstone, Oregon was an active performer on the Portland jazz scene, where he won Downbeat Magazine's 'Best High School Jazz Soloist' honor three years in a row. Wilson came to Boston in 2000 after receiving a scholarship to study at the New England Conservatory. After graduation and a brief stint in New York City, Wilson returned to Portland, where he was recently featured in the Leroy Vinnegar Jazz Institute's annual Young Artist Jazz Concert. Collaborators now for over two years, Eade and Wilson have recorded a CD of duets, Open, to be released this fall.
"Dominique Eade's singing was marvelous, whether singing actual words or applying her voice to instrumental lines. Wilson's piano work, skilled and subtle, made plain why a guy so young has become Eade's duo partner of choice." (Bill Beuttler, The Boston Globe, 2006)
"The Boston-based vocalist recently came to town and introduced a handful of new, grippingly poetic tunes as well as very impressive pianist, Jed Wilson. She sings with a voice that enjoys its own acrobatic splendor." (Jim Macnie, The Village Voice, 2005)
