Libby York

**Libby York** is a Chicago-based jazz vocalist known for her warm, intimate interpretations of classic standards and timeless melodies. With a career spanning decades, York brings a refined yet approachable vibe to the Great American Songbook, often drawing comparisons to jazz greats like June Christy and Chris Connor. Her recent releases—including *DreamLand*, *Sunday in New York*, and *Blue Gardenia*—showcase her knack for breathing new life into nostalgic tunes, while originals like *Here With You* highlight her understated storytelling charm. A regular in jazz clubs like NYC’s Birdland and Chicago’s Jazz Showcase, she collaborates with top-tier musicians (like pianist John DiMartino and guitarist Randy Napoleon) to create cozy, candlelit jazz that feels like a late-night conversation with an old friend. Whether tackling holiday classics (*The Christmas Song*) or smoky ballads (*Hit the Road to Dreamland*), York’s smooth contralto and emotive phrasing keep listeners coming back for more.
