Bio

Hope Morgan was raised within the rich jazz culture of New York City. Her vocal talents became apparent very early on. By the age of five, she was singing in the church choir. She developed an interest in musical instruments, including the violin and piano, which she studied pretty seriously, learning all the standard repertoire.

Hope's arrival upon Austin's jazz scene in the mid-eighties added an 'authentic' straight-ahead vocal talent to the jazz mix.

She has had the opportunity to learn jazz from such great musicians as Archie Schepp, Stanley Cowell, Marlon Brown, Ken McIntyre, Max Roach Gene Ramey, and of course, the late, great Betty Carter.
