The Hilary Gardner Quartet

You’ve loved her singing with the New York State of the Art Jazz Ensemble!  Classically trained singer Hilary Gardner was raised in Alaska and lived in Italy and Seattle before relocating to New York in 2003.  Hilary has performed with many of New York's finest musicians, including Mike Longo, Valery Ponomarev, Arturo O'Farrill, Bob Dorough, Joel Frahm, Joe Cohn, Larry Fuller, Bill Anschell, Adam Rafferty, and Don Braden.  Hilary performed with trumpet star Valery Ponomarev at the Tchaikovsky Hall at the Moscow Philharmonic in Moscow, Russia in 2005.  She is featured on the NY State of the Art Jazz Ensemble's third CD, "Oasis."  Mike Longo, jazz great and longtime Dizzy Gillespie associate, calls Hilary "an extraordinary singer with an enormous talent."
