Ann Hampton Calloway

Originally from Chicago, Ann is the daughter of the esteemed voice teacher and singer, Shirley Callaway and legendary Chicago television journalist, John Callaway, and her sister Liz is one of the most prominent singer-actresses on Broadway. "I grew up listening to my dad's jazz album collection," she recalls, "and by the time I reached my teens, I was hooked." Since coming to New York, Ann has recorded over 40 CD's as a soloist and guest artist combined. As one of the leading interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Callaway was the first person granted permission by Cole Porter's estate to write music for a previously unrecorded Porter lyric, "I Gaze In Your Eyes." In 2000, she garnered a Tony Award nomination for "Best Featured Actress in a Musical" for the Broadway hit "Swing!". The renaissance woman has recently made her screen debut playing Mrs. White in the upcoming independent film "Sky King" and is preparing to host a new TV series, soon to be announced. The Chicago Tribune touts Ann Hampton Callaway as "the best equipped jazz vocalist swinging today" while The New York Times declares that "no contemporary singer matches Ms. Callaway." With the release of Slow, Ann Hampton Callaway further asserts herself as an exciting talent who stands in a class by herself.
