Since graduating UM’s Frost School of Music 24-year old vocalist Veronica Swift has swiftly become one of the jazz world’s premier jazz singers.  Besides winning second place at the Thelonious Monk Vocal Competition (while still in school!) she’s since appeared with the Benny Green Trio, Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Chris Botti, among others,  established a residency at New York’s Birdland Club, toured through the world and signed with premier jazz record label Mack Avenue, with an upcoming August release.

The Faena Summer Jazz Series is thrilled to welcome Veronica’s return to Miami, June 19th, at the intimate and glamorous Faena Theatre, a perfect venue for the kind of classic jazz song which is Veronica’s specialty. If you love classic, sophisticated jazz in a romantic and intimate venue this is an evening not to miss.

In keeping with her return as one of the Frost School of Music’s notable graduates Veronica will be joined by the Shelly Berg Trio, with Dean Shelly Berg on piano, UM faculty Chuck Bergeron on bass and Gary Novak on drums.

Come welcome Veronica back to Miami for what will be a truly wonderful musical evening.
