Boston-bred, Cathy Segal Garcia loved jazz since the age of 5, Her dad was a sax player, mom and twin sisters were singers.
The sisters started singing with their dad’s bands in their early teens. In the early '70s, at Berklee College of Music for flute and Arranging & Composition, she embraced a mixture of cool jazz, modern jazz, and funk,
developing a love of rhythm, melody and harmony.
Cathy moved to San Francisco, and then L.A. in late 1975. One of the things that impressed many colleagues, fans and critics over the years, is that she has consistently worked at her craft. Performing with literally hundreds of musicians, both locally and internationally known, their style ranges from straight ahead to modern jazz.
She is the founder & co-founder of many jazz related organizations, including the Producer of Saturday Night Jazz DTLA.
She is known and supported for being a mover and shaker for the L.A. jazz scene.
Cathy has 9 previous CDs, which includes some well known musicians, such as Russell Ferrante, Peter Erskine, Marc Johnson,
Joe Diorio, Phillip Strange, Cho Yoonseung, Ted Greene, Ross Tompkins.
With her 10th CD, she has recorded mostly duos, with some of her favorite pianists in the world, 7 of the 10 from the CD
will be performing live tonight in Bar Fedora!
“A model of warm, exquisitely focused jazz vocalizing...sensuous voice and cool harmonies.” Don Heckman..... L.A. Times
“When the Sirens, in the days of ancient Greece, enticed sailors with their song, at least one of them must have sounded like Cathy Segal-Garcia...the clear, cool, perfectly pitched Segal-Garcia voice.” David Nathan ...... Hofacre’s JazzNews
“Songs that are stripped bare of the more commercialized pretentiousness of the music industry for tunes that have a unique story and artist to make sure the story is told. N.P.R jazz. The vibe of artistic integrity coupled with honest emotion for a captivating experience.” Critical Review....on “Bohemian”
