VAL HAWK made her Television debut in 1994, playing guitar and singing the voice of Becky Sue in Schoolhouse Rock’s “Dollars and Sense”. As a member of jazz vocal group The Ritz, she played, sang and arranged on their CD, “Almost Blue” (Denon). For the Japanese pop market, she can be heard on “Seventies Reminiscense” (Columbia Japan) and “A Long Vacation” for which she provided English lyrics. Her CD “Dream” was released in 2013 and streams on Spotify, Apple Music and You Tube. She has appeared internationally at the Fukuoka, Tokyo, and Jakarta Blue Note, and in festivals and concerts in Vienna, Milan and Amsterdam. A regular in NYC venues for many years, as well as curating our Wednesday Night Jazz Series, Val returns to our stage in this second show of all originals with some brand new pieces. Mark Dundas Wood describes her writing as “delightful original songs…funny and touching…..filled with wonderfully crisp and detailed imagery”
