Landis, a Detroit native, is a seven-time winner of The Outstanding Jazz Vocalist award bestowed by the Detroit Music Awards. Landis has been performing her soulful interpretations of jazz and blues in the area since 1973. In 1991 she teamed up with seven-string guitarist Rick Matle and together they continue to explore jazz ballads, bebop, blues, Brazilian rhythms, funk and their own collaborations at every performance.
The concerts have given attendees a chance to hear some of metropolitan Detroit’s finest jazz performers, and see a variety of artists’ work displayed in a setting that have impressed even the performers themselves. This week’s featured artist is Joseph Gambino.
