Veronica Swift has been one of the top jazz singers to emerge in the 21st century.

Her full and beautiful voice, deep understanding of jazz harmony, scatting ability, and skill at swinging at every tempo (along with a willingness to stretch herself) puts her at the top of her field.

Ms. Swift also has a parallel career as a rock singer.

From 2015 when she was just 21, she displays quite a bit of maturity on a tender version of “Darn That Dream” while accompanied by pianist Ron Teixeira, showing a lot of potential that she has since realized.
