Performance highlights include sold out shows at Birdland, The Iridium, Zinc Bar, Mezzrow and Cornelia Street Cafe and a special six month stint at The Plaza Hotel. She has had residencies at Jazz at Kitano and is currently singing bi-monthly at The Lexington Hotel. Last summer she had sold out performances and standing ovations on a California tour of the Bay Area including at the Sound Room in Oakland. Vicki has recently recorded a critically acclaimed album, “Lotus Blossom Days" which features original music and rarely sung gems from the Great American Song Book. As a vocal jazz educator, Vicki has been teaching for 11 years at The 92NY School of Music. She recently performed at her first faculty recital there to a standing ovation and a rave review of the performance by Rob Lester: . “Vicki Burns’s voice is a warm, clear, rich one, especially strong and resonant in mid-range and low notes... She doesn’t take easy paths, opting for some challenging musical architectures and tricky tempi. A true jazz performer, she nimbly navigates the leaps and bounds of the musical lines, crisply delivering the words or (often) scat-singing." -Rob Lester, Broadway World, November 8th, 2024 As of September 2024, Vicki has joined the JCM Vocal Dept at Syracuse University as an adjunct professor. where she currently has a roster of 15 Jazz vocal students. Jazz great Max Roach has described Vicki's voice as a gold mine and Bassist Christian McBride has called her "A Wonderful Singer”
