Alexis, noted Jazz and Swing singer, began her career in music as a vocalist in the early 1990's Singing to music she loved. She soon discovered that she had tapped into
legions of admirers of the Jazz, Swing and Standards made famous from the 1920's through the 50's. Her accompaniment consists of: a pianist, trio, quartet, 7-piece swing band and occasionally her 18-piece big band. In January 2001 Alexis received the Certificate of Commendation from the Mayor and City Council of Los Angeles for elevating public awareness of these classic art forms. This award precipitated her opportunity to
work with the renowned Artie Shaw. Alexis' vocal talent has been compared to that of Diane Schuur, Peggy Lee, and Sarah Vaughn. |
