- Musical Artist, Vocalist, Educator
- Tell us a little about your background...
- Singer, Mary Talbot Fee, grew up in a musical household in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. Daughter of an opera and musical comedy performer, Mary was raised listening to classic choral tunes, show tunes and opera. Her mother, Angela Talbot was the founding director of the Berkshire Lyric Theatre and performed at Carnegie Recital Hall in 1972. Mary began her own singing venture at age 6 as a childrens choir member in her local church in Richmond. One moment sticks in her mind as the point where she fell in love with jazz. At a party at her parent’s home, Mary, aged 4, was seen hanging out with the jazz musicians and playing under the piano. A special love had begun.
As a college student, Mary majored in Modern Dance and performed as a dancer in many dance and theatre productions, including Cabaret. Her senior recital included a piece choreographed to a collage of a capella blues songs sung by Mary, herself.
Music continued to be a part of her life as Mary sang with a Steel Drum Band in her twenties. At the time she was also a student of Kevyn Lettau, renown jazz vocalist. Mary’s career began to blossom when she became a student of Amber Whitlock. Amber and her husband Rob Whitlock are well respected jazz musicians, producers and arrangers. Both have recordings to their credit most notably including the late Michael Brecker and Anthony Jackson. They recognized Mary’s love of Jazz and added her to their roster at Sketchin’ Records. Rob’s arrangements centered around Mary’s gift for languages as well as her vocal range. They brought in some incredible musicians that are well known in the music industry including Charlie Bisharat (former musical director for John Tesh), Trey Henry (of Tierney Sutton’s Band), Cliff Almond (Michel Camillo, Manhattan Transfer, Chuck Loeb), Kleber Jorge (Sergio Mendes & Kevyn Lettau) and Luis Conte (James Taylor Band).

Joni Mitchell’s Gift
Joni Mitchell sat down in your way
Distracting you from wispy bones
And brittle, cropped hair
Keeping you anchored to the path
The one you scatter unknowingly
With petals of colorful love
Sowing seeds of hope and promise
Which grow strong with the loyally devoted
For they are light and buoyant
Because of you they move
In rhythms and soaring tones
Recalling tunes so vividly…

RED
Picking blueberries alone in the woods
A sad and lonely hay ride
To the cold head stones of the quarry
A red bird sat on the window sill
Waiting for his soul to fly
Red hair, red blood, a red bird
And my red eyes
Planting forget-me-knots over his head
Seasons changed and time’s train
Left a clouds of sorrow in her path
A red bird sat on his gravestone
Waiting to say good-bye
Red hair, red blood, a red…

Melting the Mic
Soft, warm winds circle past tongue and lips,
Temperate tones swirl and emerge,
Gaining momentum as a howling storm,
Her tropical surging song melts the mic.
Tear and years fly uprooted through amplified blasts,
Humid, sultry breaths ride and slide free chords,
Crying out, knocking on boarded windows of defeat,
Her tropical surging song melts the mic.
Hard feelings, no longer buried,

- Thanks, Mary!
The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.Rudresh Mahanthappa On Piano Jazz
Mahanthappa brings an explosive blend of jazz and South Indian classical music to the studio.Grady Tate On Piano Jazz
Grady Tate began his jazz career as a much-celebrated drummer, backing such icons as Wes Montgomery, Ella Fitzgerald, and Quincy Jones. Tate has since traded in his skins for a microphone at center stage, where he delivers smooth and soulful baritone vocals. With pianist John di Martino, Tate sings "Everybody Loves My Baby" and "Where Do You Start."Woody Herman At 100: 'A Blues Player From His Heart'
He was a soulful reedman, an amazing talent scout for decades and a bandleader of one of the country's most popular acts. Born in 1913, Herman led "Thundering Herds" that were both big draws and well-respected by the likes of Igor Stravinsky. Here are five recordings which still sound fresh today.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.
