About this act
Wendy McPhee performs as Jazzbird, singing standards drawn largely from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee and Blossom Dearie are among the influences behind her approach. Based in Adelaide, Wendy has taken Jazzbird to wineries and private functions across the city and Fleurieu region. Her background includes jazz studies at the Elder School of Music and performances with the Adelaide Jazz Trio. The focus is on vocal jazz, with the song and its interpretation leading the performance.
