Jennifer Hartswick left Sheffield, her hometown, eleven years ago.  She graduated from Lyndon Institute, headed to New York City, spent a couple of years at the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford and lives now in Chicago.

She plays trumpet, she sings, she mixes jazz, funk, soul and other genres and brings her talent and her band to Lyndon Institute on  Wednesday night.  She’ll spend the day with the L.I. Jazz Band, teaching, playing, answering questions, and then at 7:00, the LI Band will do a set and then Jennifer and her quartet hit the stage.  Tickets are just $10, $5 for students.

On Tuesday afternoon, she stopped by the studio and we chatted and listened to her latest album “True.”  You can already hear the songs on the VermontMornings.com stream.  And you can hear the interview, bookended by her musical talents, by clicking here:
