Vashti Summervill is a Boise, Idaho based singer, songwriter and pianist. While Summervill is classically trained (holding both a BA and MM in vocal performance) and has lived a life steeped in music, she had not been drawn to write her own songs until early 2017. After college, she spent several years as a musical theater performer, including stints at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre, Seattle Civic Light Opera, Bumbershoot, and the Oregon Cabaret Theatre.
Drawing from a multihued palate of 60s cool jazz, bossa nova, New Orleans swing, and bittersweet piano ballads, Vashti Summervill delivers a finely crafted set of original songs on her debut album as a solo artist. At turns languid and sweetly swinging, Summervill’s luminous, honeyed voice dances through a melodic rainbow immaculately arranged by an array of top-notch musicians. Hypnotic, beguiling, and eminently timeless, Put My Love in a Picture will enchant both serious students of the jazz canon and folks who just dig a good tune equally.
