| Whitney James Listen to Whitney and you will quickly recognize the vocalists who have shaped her unique approach. At age 13, she was listening to Sarah Vaughan. In her late teens, she was exposed to the likes of Abbey Lincoln, Shirley Horn and Carmen McRae. In college, she was inspired by her vocal instructor Jay Clayton, who she continues to study with today. More than a copy of those who inspired her, Whitney has developed her own voice — oaky in the low end and filled with sweetness in the higher ranges, always exploring familiar melodies in unexpected ways. |
