About the Artist

JEANNE PHILLIPS - VOCAL/PIANO ARTIST
Jeanne Phillips is a native Cincinnatian and has a music studio in Cincinnati in the historic Herzog/King Records Music museum on Race Street. She has performed all over this city and many others in the eastern states as a soloist for intimate settings of 7 up to convention crowds of 10,000.

While strongly influenced by the stylings of Billie, Ella, Diana Krall and so many more, Jeanne creates her own unique interpretations that are inspired, inventive, and artistically crafted to create and sustain just the right mood. Jeanne loves to pull her audience into a song's expression of the heart and varied emotions of the soul.

Although Jeanne accompanies herself as a soloist, she mostly enjoys being accompanied by her pianist, Zach Karp and bassist, Mason Daugherty.

Zachary Karp is a jazz pianist based in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. He earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s of Music at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music in Jazz Studies. He was awarded a graduate assistantship and has traveled to local schools to conduct master classes and performances. He has played at many venues around the Cincinnati area including Caffe Vivace, Schwartz Pointe, and Juniper’s. His playing style is steeped in the blues and strongly rooted in the jazz tradition, taking inspiration from the likes of Bobby Timmons and Cedar Walton.

Mason Daugherty is a jazz bassist, educator, and composer/arranger who, after
obtaining his Masters in Jazz Studies from UC, now calls Cincinnati home. He works
professionally in the area in various jazz combos, country bands, and wedding bands
while teaching at the Cincinnati Jazz Academy, Musique Madeira, and Conner High
School's jazz band director. He busies himself composing and arranging for
El Ritmo Del Manana, an occasional chart for CCJO, for his own trio, and alongside his
band members for DMJ Jazz. You can hear his work on "The View from Riddle",
available on Spotify.
