Singer Maria Schafer weaves compelling and honest stories with a songbook deeply steeped in straight ahead jazz and well-informed by acoustic folk, Brazilian folk, and contemporary jazz music.
An intimate musical chemistry with her bandmates makes even well-worn jazz standards sound like her own tunes and her originals bring the stories of your own heart to life. A finely-honed intonation and musicality welcome a full schedule of recording session work (film, world, pop, country, jazz, and choral music), teaching, touring, and performing as an in-demand and astute vocalist in Los Angeles and via remote recording.
