With a smooth, expressive style and a repertoire all her own, Rosana Eckert is quickly gaining
recognition as a dynamic jazz singer, composer, and arranger. Influenced by singers like Shirley
Horn, Chet Baker, and Carmen McCrae as well as players like Stan Getz, John Coltrane, and Oscar
Peterson, Rosana draws listeners in with a sincere approach to lyrics and an instrumentalist's
approach to scatting.
She is a regular live performer, working with several Dallas-based bands as well as leading and writing for her own jazz quintet. Rosana currently teaches vocal jazz at UNT where she does writing and arranging for the vocal jazz ensembles and teaches both privately and in the classroom. In addition to her teaching and performing, Rosana works regularly as a Dallas studio singer. She has sung back-up vocals for various recording artists including contemporary Christian singers Matthew Ward and Annie Herring, and she can be heard on hundreds of jingles and radio Ids around the country. Rosana's first solo CD, At the End of the Day, was released on April 22, 2003.
