Linda Presgrave - Music Teacher at Univeristy City Public Schools 1973-1980

Jazz pianist, composer, and arranger, relocated to New York City in 1998 leaving a very active music career in her native city of St. Louis. Since that time she has recorded four jazz CDs as a leader on the METROPOLITAN RECORDS label. On her newest CD, INSPIRATION, Linda continues in her exploration of compositions by jazz artists “who happen to be women”. This time around she recorded once again with her favorite jazz bassist Harvie S, her producer/husband Stan Chovnick on soprano sax along with the “inspirational” drummer Allison Miller and the newest addition to the Metropolitan Records artist roster, tenor saxophonist Todd Herbert. The CD consists of six tracks of originals by Linda inspired by people, places and things plus works by Joanne Brackeen, Melba Liston, Bertha Hope and Billie Holiday. Lindahas received rave reviews from critics and fans alike. This recording has helped to bring attention not only to her pianistic abilities but also to her compositional skills.
