Vocalist Maud Hixson is a cool, swinging Minnesota gal whose clear sound and unencumbered delivery lets her virtuosity sneak up on you, in contrast to so many jazz singers today who make sure you hear their vocal chops at hello.

This is Maud’s second appearance on the show and this time we discuss her latest CD, Permanent Moonlight, which celebrates the songs of Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, which won a Bistro Award shortly after its release.
