Carol Heffler is a jazz singer, recording artist, and songwriter with over three decades of performing experience nationwide. Named 'Best Female Jazz Vocalist' by the International Association of Jazz Educators, Ms. Heffler and her group opened for the Mercer Ellington and Woody Herman Orchestras. Carol is a pro, her sensuous voice particularly expressive on ballads. Described as a 'well-tempered June Christy', Carol's rhythmic delivery of swing tunes and Latin numbers creates an atmosphere for dancing. She can perform with a trio or quartet, or any combination of highly qualified musicians that the event may require. Carol has performed at the Red Bank Blues and Jazz Festival, Lambertville Station, Odette's in New Hope, and many other restaurants and clubs in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Her most recent CD, 'exactly', has been played on over 100 radio stations in the US, Canada, Europe, South America, and Australia. Reviews: Scott Yanow, LA Jazz Scene: 'Carol Heffler is a highly expressive interpreter of ballads and a talented songwriter who has a cool quiet voice that is difficult to resist'; Doug Moody, DJ, KMFB Jazz Radio: 'So far, I think the Carol Heffler CD 'exactly' is the best vocal disc of the year.' Alan Bargebuhr, Cadence magazine: 'Possessed of a transparently warm soprano voice which dips into contralto depths when necessary, her delivery is akin to a sweet melodic breeze.'
