Carmen Lundy
We wrap up the 19th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival with award-winning and two-time Grammy-nominated singer, composer, film producer and visual artist Carmen Lundy, an artist that is highly regarded for her innovative musicianship, showmanship and songwriting. She has penned more than two hundred compositions to date, and, after five decades as a recording artist, carries an artistic weight that has resulted in sold-out shows across North America, including the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Lundy has performed at festivals and concert halls around the world, captivating audiences with her virtuosity, raw heartfelt emotion, and playfulness. She began her career in Miami where she performed with Bruce Hornsby and Jaco Pastorius, later moving to New York where she performed and recorded with Ray Barretto, Kenny Kirkland, Mulgrew Miller, Terri Lyne Carrington, Geri Allen, and many others. Most recently, she performed at the Central Avenue Jazz Festival, Detroit and DC Jazz Festivals, London Jazz Festival, and others.
