LYNETTE MARGULIES
Lynette Margulies was given the honor of Best Jazz Artist of the Year for 2007 presented by the Madison
Area Music Awards (MAMA's)
Introducting Lynette's new CD "The Love of Life" recorded and mastered in November, 2006 in Madison, WI
Lynette Margulies has sung professionally since the age of 14. From pop to R & B to soul to blues to jazz to
Hebrew liturgical material, she has covered an eclectic gamut of musical genres. She has recorded on over a
dozen projects as well as three of her own productions, “Lynette”, “Look For The Silver Lining” and "Love of
Life."
In the liner notes of Margulies’ CD, “Look For The Silver Lining,” Ben Sidran (“Life’s A Lesson”) writes
“Lynette Margulies is a gifted jazz singer with a deeply ingrained blues feel, but when she began as an adult
to sing the liturgical music from her childhood the emotional floodgates seemed to open. From that moment
on, she has been in touch with a place in herself-and in all of us-that few singers ever reach.
Margulies has performed around the world joined by some of America’s finest musicians-in Vienna, Austria
with Howard Levy and Steve Khan; at Lincoln Center with Josh Redman, Danny Gottlieb and Rufus Reid; at
the University of Wisconsin Theater with Phil Woods, Phil Upchurch and Richard Davis; in Chicago with Eddie
Daniels, Mike Mainieri and Gil Goldstein-and in every instance, Lynette made a believer out of them. The
power and commitment in her voice is undeniable, and her natural delight in singing this music is contagious.
Lynette has worked with Tap It New Works on and off during the last three decades. More recently, she told
her story of her journey through depression in an original show entitled “Soul Journey”. The script was
written by Danielle Dresden of Tap It New Works. This passionate, humorous, and powerful piece made it’s
way to the International Festival of the Arts in Toronto in 2002. Margulies conducted a workshop for those in
the mental health field as well as those who were consumers of the mental health profession.
Lynette has participated in several conferences, workshops, classes and retreats involving the human
healing process. From learning about the ancient sacred instruments of the Himalayas, to binaural frequency
healing of the brain and consequently the rest of the body, mind and soul, she has constantly sought after
ways to help herself and others in their healing journeys.
Her presentations through music, drama, teaching or heart sharing have enabled Margulies to offer an
obvious interconnectedness between her and others and the rest of the Universe.
Personally, Lynette is a mother of an eight year old boy and has a loving partner of ten years. They reside
in Madison, Wisconsin on the east side of town.
