Words Are My Work

Be it a weekly jazz-duo performance with my accompanist in Maury’s Steakhouse Lounge at Allegiant Airlines’ Sunseeker Resort in Charlotte Harbor, FL, audiobook narration projects, or past emcee work at live events of all types from San Diego to San Francisco on behalf of Southern California Ford Dealers, words are my work.

Your words or my words.
Words sung, spoken, dramatized.
Words that have been pre-written or words spoken into existence and given life in the moment.

They have meaning.
They deserve to be interpreted, handled with care, and given their due.

If we don’t have the opportunity to collaborate directly on an endeavour to bring some form of truth or beauty into this oft difficult world, then my sincerest hope is that you might someday enjoy something I’ve poured every ounce of myself into.

Salut!


Mel Torme with pianist John Colianni "Pick Yourself Up" (1994)

“He is the essence of a swinging pianist.”

John S. Wilson, The New York Times


A special message I received last year from the late pianist John Colianni:

John Colianni, Pianist-Arranger

“Hi Jeremy,

I'm John Colianni, I'm a pianist-arranger. I have been listening to your recordings and clips online, (…) I admire your pitch, rhythmic skills, and nice phrasing - and your congenial stage presence.  I'm a pianist and arranger, and used to be Mel Torme's accompanist, also toured and recorded with Anita O'Day, Cleo Laine, Les Paul, Steve Miller, and other notables.”

LEGACY

Generations of Performance

“We inherit from our ancestors gifts so often taken for granted. Each of us contains within us this inheritance of soul. We are links between the ages, containing past and present expectations, sacred memories and future promise.”

—Edward Sellner

Legacy isn’t easy, but it’s always worthwhile.

Read more about the family “business” and the tradition of performance that was started by Ruth Russell beginning with her early days in the Golden Age of Radio in the 1920’s and carrying forward to her days on tour with “Grease” in the 1970’s.

 NARRATION

Audiobooks In Production

I am currently well underway with recording “Delray Deadly” the first title in American author Tom Turner’s Delray Beach series. You can expect to see it become available on Audible, Amazon, and Apple Books this Fall.

Tom is a popular crime thriller and mystery author known for his Palm Beach series, Charleston series, and Savannah series of thrillers, with his new Delray Beach series rapidly gaining ground.

His standalone titles of note are “Broken House,” “Dead in the Water,” and “Killers on the Doorstep.”

Testimonials

Jeremy performed for our daughter’s engagement party. This guy has an amazing voice, a great personality, and is easy to work with. Everyone loved his performance and we are looking forward to hiring him for the wedding. Thanks dude for making our daughter’s day memorable - you’re awesome.
— Albert B., Norwalk CA
Jeremy was incredible! People commented on his excellent performance the entire evening. We were beyond pleased with not just his vocal ability and performance, but also with the way he carried himself. He was on time for sound check and worked directly with the DJ to get everything set up. Book him... book him now!
— Stephen & Sallie F.
Jeremy was a great communicator and booking was extremely easy. He showed up right on time and set up was quick. His performance matched our high expectations after seeing him perform live in Chinatown, Los Angeles and his appearance matched his performance — awesome! We can’t wait to book him again. Reasonably priced and worth every penny.
— Gabriela H.


 

Artist Statement

Through our sufferings, we find our truth.

But only if you seek to drink from the cup of suffering that has been passed to you. Otherwise, your grief will be wasted. Don’t allow what you’ve seen, experienced, walked through in the dark night of the soul to return void. Make it count. Don’t lose this.

Earn this.


About Me

MY NAME IS JEREMY

I am continuing the long legacy of performance and search for truth through lyric and script, via live and pre-recorded mediums, and amidst extreme joy and deepest depths of sorrow and suffering and in spite of great adversity along the way.

Onward through the fray, dear friends.
