MARINA PACOWSKI: Acclaimed Jazz Vocalist – Bebop and Beyond

Prepare for a virtuosic journey through the world of jazz as the multi-talented French artist Marina Pacowski brings her “Bebop and Beyond” showcase to the Catalina Jazz Club on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. Originally from Biarritz, France, and now a fixture of the Los Angeles jazz scene, Pacowski is celebrated for her dual mastery as a concert pianist and a “scat-specialist” vocalist.

Performance Details

  • The Artistic Style: Pacowski is renowned for her extraordinary skill in scat vocals, following in the tradition of legends like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. Critics often describe her voice as a unique blend of Blossom Dearie’s playfulness and Billie Holiday’s emotional depth.

  • The Program: The “Bebop and Beyond” set typically features:

    • Reimagined selections from the Great American Songbook.

    • High-speed bebop standards (notably her famous takes on “Donna Lee”).

    • Material from her latest critically acclaimed album, New Jazz Standards, Volume 7: The Music of Carl Saunders.

  • The Band: She is expected to be joined by an “all-star” ensemble of Los Angeles’s top-tier jazz session musicians.
