Award Winning New York-based Jazz Vocalist Celia Berk

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series. In this episode, we sit down with award-winning New York–based jazz vocalist Celia Berk for a deep dive into her ambitious 2025 recording project Four Seasons of Song—a series of EPs inspired by each of the four seasons, blending emotional nuance, storytelling, and timeless jazz elegance. Celia Berk is widely celebrated for her distinctive interpretations of the Great American Songbook and her gift for uncovering hidden gems by master songwriters. Though her jazz career began later in life, her artistic journey is anything but conventional. Once an aspiring actress, Celia chose the structure of Corporate America, yet never stopped studying voice or nurturing her passion for music. Her artistry has drawn high praise, with Rex Reed calling her “one of the best singers I’ve heard in a long time,” and Stephen Holden of The New York Times writing, “Ms. Berk makes you feel about New York the same way a Cole Porter song makes you feel about Paris.” From prestigious New York stages to listeners around the world, Celia Berk’s voice carries elegance, intelligence, and emotional depth. We explore her music, career evolution, and the creative vision behind Four Seasons of Song. It’s a rich and inspiring conversation. 🎙️ Enjoy this interview. 🎶 Get the albums:https://celiaberk.com/four-seasons-of-song-summer For More Neon Jazz: Shows via MixCloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/neonjazzkc/Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/neonjazzkcSubscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-joe-dimino/id546432639?mt=2 The Home of Neon Jazz:http://theneonjazz.blogspot.com/ Contribute to Neon Jazz via PayPal:                   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=ER Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
