Vintage jazz at April 4 Town Hall Concert Series
Morgen Stiegler and her band will perform a concert of vintage swing and jazz at the next Town Hall Concert, at 8 p.m., Friday, April 4, according to Wendy Chappell-Dick. The public is invited and will be asked to make a donation for the musicians.
Northwest Ohio has become familiar with Stiegler through her appearance on Portraits in Swing as well as live performances on PBS.
"Morgen sees herself as a storyteller, and the story she tells on her debut recording Reaching for the Moon is her own,” writes David Dupont in the Bowling Green Sentinel Tribune. "The songs on this collaboration with guitarist Chris Buzzelli that seeks to honor the duo recordings of Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass—are ‘snapshots’ of her musical development that include songs from her childhood alongside familiar standards."
The record receives regular airplay on radio stations throughout the U.S. and was number 2 on WBGU's Jazz Top 10. Says Kim Nazarian of New York Voices: "Reaching for the Moon is a heart to heart conversation—an innocent dialogue of pure, sweet music!"
Stiegler has directed and arranged for vocal jazz/a cappella ensembles at Bowling Green State University, Tiffin Univerisity and Terra Community College. As instructor for applied jazz voice and ethnomusicology at BGSU, where she graduated with a MM in Ethnomusicology, her research has focused on the Native American connections to Jazz—an effort rooted in the heritage she shares and seeks in her music.
