The daughter of the great jazz singer Stephanie Nakasian and the late bop pianist Hod O’Brien, Veronica Swift has developed into one of the top jazz vocalists on the scene today.
She recorded her first album when she was nine, toured as a young teenager, won second place in the 2015 Thelonious Monk Jazz Vocal Competition and in the past few years has performed with Chris Botti, Wynton Marsalis, Benny Green, and Emmet Cohen among others, in addition to touring with her own group.
Inspired by Anita O’Day, Veronica Swift has developed into a top swing and bop singer who has her own sound within the tradition.
On her LiveStream from Sept. 3, 2020, she performs duets with the fine pianist Matt Baker including swinging versions of “I Just Found Out About Love,” “A Fine Romance,” “Interlude,” and “Lulu’s Back In Town,” and is joined by Stephanie Nakasian for “Estate” and an exciting scat-filled romp.

Jazz cellist Artyom Manukyan was born in Yerevan in Armenia where, due to his parents, he heard a great deal of jazz and classical music while growing up; on cello he emulated jazz bassists.
Manukyan studied classical cello at the State Conservatory, played jazz locally and performed with the Armenia Navy Band before moving to Los Angeles in 2010.
He has since worked as a session musician, a soundtrack composer, and performed with a wide variety of artists including Kamasi Washington, Melody Gardot, Peter Erskine, and Gretchen Parlato.
Pianist Vardan Ovsepian, who is also from Armenia, had extensive training overseas before studying at Berklee, and he has worked as a soloist and with such artists as Mick Goodrick, Peter Erskine, Jerry Bergonzi, and David Binney, leading several of his own CDs.
On their LiveStream of Sept. 3, 2020, Manukyan and Ovsepian perform their thoughtful originals in a set of mostly gentle cello-piano duets, playing in very complementary styles and creating music that is both creative and picturesque.

Born in Armenia, pianist Vardan Ovsepian had extensive study at Yerevan State Conservatory, Estonian Music Academy, Helsinki Jazz Conservatory, and Berklee.
Now based in Los Angeles, Ovsepian has worked with such notables as Mick Goodrick, Peter Erskine, Jerry Bergonzi, and Sara Serpa, and has released a series of CDs as a leader.
Also originally from Armenia and now part of the Los Angeles music scene, cellist Artyom Manukyan has performed in a wide variety of genres (including with Kamasi Washington, Melody Gardot and Gretchen Parlato), on television shows, and at the head of his own quartet.
On Vardan Ovsepiano’s LiveStream of Sept. 3, 2020, he and Artyom Manukyan perform mostly original music that is relaxed (even with the inclusion of one cooker) and features rich melodies and close interplay, fitting creatively into the modern mainstream of jazz.
