Kate Kortum takes the traditional jazz vocal experience and makes it her own, combining the intimacy and storytelling of cabaret with vocals that echo Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone.

The winner of the 2025 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, Kortum has emerged as one of the most compelling new artists in jazz today, performing on the most iconic stages in jazz including Birdland, Blue Note, Dizzy’s Club, and Jazz at Lincoln Center.

What sets Kortum apart is her knowing, sly playfulness — and the distinctly modern female perspective she brings to classic jazz and swing tunes, most of them written by men generations ago.

Kortum has toured internationally and collaborated with modern jazz leaders including Bryan Carter, Peter Bernstein, Wynton Marsalis, and the world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. mahaiwejazz
