Internationally known for her work with her own show, Madwoman A Contemporary Opera, M. has also had the pleasure of performing alongside some of the finest artists in the business including, Aretha Franklin, Maxwell, Eric Benet, Chaka Khan, Kenny Lattimore, El Debarge, Freddie Jackson, DJ Spooky, and Simply Red to name a few.   From her very first venture into the world of creative arts, M - artist and person – has carved a bold and brilliantly unique path through the field of traditional and contemporary music as well as into new and uncharted artistic territories.  With a powerful six octave range, a captivating and mesmerizing stage presence and a rich musical and lyrical palette, M has excited audiences across a broad and diverse demographic.  One area of music that has been instrumental in providing a creatively charged space for M's compositional inspirations is ‘free-jazz'.  An environment full of improvisation, the pushing of boundaries, the merging of styles, the bold and daring release of divergent energies, the free-jazz movement has enabled M to experiment with sounds and tones and textures in the development of her vocal skills.   Jazz Ain't Dead is proud to have M. perform and record with us.  For more information about Madwoman, visit www.madwoman2.com.
