Lisa Lieberman
Music has always been central to Lisa’s life. Starting guitar at age 12, she delved into folk music, while singing in high school and college choirs. Lisa sang in a high school rock band, and a folk/soft-rock trio during graduate school, playing rhythm guitar. She began studying voice again in 2009, and rediscovered her love of the standards in a PCC vocal jazz class. In 2013, Lisa placed first in the Oregon Jazz Society’s amateur vocal contest. She enjoys growing her craft, also loving the comraderie of the local jazz singing community.
Leslie Ginalette
Leslie studied classical music at Trinity College of Music in London where she earned a post-graduate certificate in Opera Performance. Life moves us along in stange ways and after a brief stint in the opera minor leagues she went back to her profession as a designer. She currently is a co-owner and the creative director of Amber Lotus Publishing. While opera singing was long behind her, the desire to sing never left. Five years ago on an impulse she took a jazz vocalist class at PSU and she has been singing jazz ever since. Leslie is so grateful that the joy of making music is once again in her life.
Jordan Ackerson
Jordan began soloing in school talent shows at age 8, while performing in many choirs for several years. He began studying voice at the age of 14. In his 20’s, he continued performing as a featured soloist, and in the PCC Voices of Soul choir. In 2015, he became a vocal artist in United by Music North America, performing locally, regionally, and nationally. UBMNA spreads the message of inclusion and acceptance of diversity through the joy of music. Jordan loves to sing, and especially values the importance of touching peoples’ hearts with optimism.
Michael Severson
Michael is a versatile pianist, conductor, and composer. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Performance from Lewis & Clark College where he studied with great Portland pianists Randy Porter and Susan Smith. He is often performing alongside jazz vocalists, as well as teaching up-and-coming singers in classes at Portland Community College and Clark College in Vancouver. He also enjoys singing and conducting choral music at Lewis & Clark College and Blueprint Ensemble Arts, as well as teaching privately through Chordination Music.
Graham Lampe
Graham has been playing bass for 12 years. He started very young due to growing up in a music store owned and operated by his father. He plays jazz, funk, and rock but is open to and experienced in playing other types of music, as well. He plays with the Portland Youth Jazz Orchestra, his school’s orchestra, takes private lessons, and plays with many different bands in Portland. This Summer, he is headed to Victor Wooten’s music nature camp in Nashville then on to Stanford’s Intensive Jazz Immersion workshop. He is really pleased to be playing for the house party.
