Rosalyn McClore

Born in Memphis, Tenn., Rosalyn McClore is one of the most talented jazz pianists and singers on the east coast. Inspired by Nina Simone, Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nat King Cole, Rosalyn studied with some of the world’s leading jazz pianists. With tutors like the late Phineas Newborne Jr and Mulgrew Miller, she absorbed with acute attention to detail the stylings of jazz piano and vocal interpretation while refining her own vision and conceptual vocabulary for the music. She emerged, through careful study and focus, her own individual style and presentation of the music of jazz.

Rosalyn McClore studied at University of Memphis where she was a jazz piano major. After completing studies at the University, she continued private study with Phineas Newborne Jr., Mulgrew Miller, James Williams and Donald Brown-formerly Director of Jazz studies at University of Knoxville.She can be seen at jazz festivals and local venues on the east coast and around the world. She currently lives and works in Jersey City and the New York area.

Rosalyn released her debut album in February 2021 entitled The Pretty Painted Ladies of Wellington Street; an album partially in tribute to Nina Simone. She is currently developing an off Broadway show on the life and music of Nina Simone. Also in development is the Jersey City Blues society.

Rosalyn has been described as “an unfound treasure” when it comes to live performance. She brings a level of entertainment rare in jazz settings and makes her performances a “must see” event. Present projects include development of younger jazz artists and students in order to keep the music of jazz and jazz studies, alive and well around the world.
