Come hear Linda Tate live at a variety of venues!  Her varied repertoire complements whichever outstanding jazz musicians are accompanying her, always guaranteeing an entertaining experience.

Personal Note:

The last few years I have been engaged in an ongoing artistic exploration and incubation period for my next CD, "Geography." It will be a collection of original musical compositions inspired by my travels to China, Japan, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Spain, Portugal, Guatemala, Mexico, Argentina, and Chile.  Watch for the music, along with trip photos and notes coming soon!
