Rebecca Parris was born in Newton, Massachusetts into a family of educators and musicians. Her early career is marked by studies with world-class vocal coach, Blair MacClosky, and attendance at Boston Conservatory. At first she toured with top 40’s bands, then became immersed in the American jazz genre of singing, developing her distinctive version of improvisation, scat, exemplary phrasing, and masterful story telling.
Parris has performed worldwide with great jazz legends, including Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, Wynton Marsalis, Gary Burton, Count Basie, Woody Herman, David “Fathead” Newman, and many others. Rebecca has performed at the heralded Monterey Jazz Festival, North Sea Jazz Festival, Oslo Jazz Festival, and the too-cool International Floating Jazz Festival.
Rebecca’s latest release is You Don’t Know Me on the Saying It With Jazz label. Rebecca performs some well-chosen standards with her long-time trio: Brad Hatfield, piano; Peter Kontrimas, bass; and Matt Gordy, drums. Rebecca’s previous releases include My Foolish Heart, The Secret of Christmas, A Beautiful Friendship, Double Rainbow, A Passionate Fling, Love Comes and Goes, and Live at Chan’s.
