Rebecca Martin is a modern jazz singer/songwriter from New York City whose commitment to recording several albums of her distinctive work has aided in developing her reputation as one of the best musicians on the New York jazz scene today. However, Martin does not devote herself purely to recording, as she also performs to great acclaim throughout New York City with her trio, the eponymous Rebecca Martin Band. Despite her tremendous skill at original songwriting, Rebecca Martin and her band are becoming more and more renowned for their world-class interpretation of jazz standards, which has some critics claiming that the chanteuse might even come to "upstage Norah Jones and Madeline Peyroux" before long.
