Jimmie Herrod

Jimmie Herrod is a vocalist appearing with Pacific Symphony as part of the Pink Martini All-Stars program. Listeners can expect a set that draws on Pink Martini's signature mix of jazz, pop, cabaret, and global influences, delivered with an expressive, wide-ranging voice.

Herrod appears here as part of the Pink Martini All-Stars, a lineup built around that group's genre-crossing repertoire, which mixes lounge jazz, orchestral pop, Latin and French-inflected songs, and show tunes into a single set. Expect arrangements that move between hushed, intimate verses and big, orchestrally backed choruses, often performed in multiple languages within the same evening. A vocalist featured in this context is typically given room for extended, dynamically shaped solos, moving from soft, conversational phrasing to full-voiced, sustained high notes. Listeners who enjoy vocal flexibility, from jazz-inflected phrasing to more classical, legato singing, will find the format suited to showing that range. The overall feel of a Pink Martini-style program is celebratory and eclectic rather than tied to one strict musical tradition.
