About Jackie Bornstein
Bornstein’s official biography identifies her as a jazz vocalist trained in voice, piano, and clarinet before studying jazz voice performance at the Victorian College of the Arts. It also documents her background in psychology and peace studies, which informs several of her thematic music projects.[1]
The biography maps four distinct programs: Women in Jazz, Jazz and Social Justice, From Paris to Brazil, and Peace and Love. It also records regular work at Melbourne jazz venues and support from a City of Melbourne arts grant for the Women in Jazz recording and research project.[1]
Bornstein’s official listening page documents the 2022 album Women in Jazz: An Invitation to Freedom and the 2015 recording East of the Sun with personnel, studio credits, artist-hosted tracks, and performance video. Her Bandcamp provides the complete Women in Jazz album.[2][3]
Women in Jazz
The Melbourne-supported project combines a recorded program with stories about women composers represented on the album.[1][2]
Thematic concert programs
Bornstein’s biography separates projects on social justice, multilingual song, and peace from her general jazz repertoire.[1]
East of the Sun
The 2015 studio project documents Bornstein in duo, trio, and quartet arrangements with Melbourne musicians.[2]
