Meredith d'Ambrosio

D'Ambrosio was born into a musical family and took piano lessons beginning at the age of six. In 1958 she spent a year at the Boston Museum School, then pursued a career in painting and music. She rejected an offer to tour with John Coltrane in 1966.[1] Over ten years later she recorded her debut album, mostly providing her own piano accompaniment.[2] In 1988, d'Ambrosio and jazz pianist Eddie Higgins were married and became a popular team at clubs and festivals, as well as recording for Sunnyside Records. She appeared on the radio program Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland in 1994.[1]

In addition to singing and playing piano, she is a composer, lyricist, painter, calligrapher, and teacher. Her album Out of Nowhere (2000) was nominated for the Django Award by the French Academy of Jazz.[1]
