Angela Bingham with the Jim Ketch Quintet

"About 2 minutes into an Angela Bingham show you are hearing lyrics you never paid attention to before. About 10 minutes in, you are hoping you can still get a ticket for the 2nd set." --Dave Finucane, Durham Jazz Workshop Angela Bingham is a real jazz singer’s singer - always conversational, yet leaning into improvisation without sacrificing the original songwriter’s intent. She consistently delights audiences with her exquisite taste in material, rich alto voice, and compelling stage presence. Jim Ketch, director of the Jazz Studies department at UNC-CH for over 30 years and founder of the North Carolina Jazz Repertory Orchestra.
