A cantora de jazz Daryl Sherman nasceu no 14 de junho de 1950 e permanece como agradável atração, de alguns dos mais famosos pontos de diversão e descontração de Nova York.

Seu principal palco de atuação está localizado no saguão do famoso e luxuoso hotel Walfdorf Astoria, diante do piano Steinway onde Cole Porter, um dos famosos residentes do local, costumava dedilhar alguma canções de sua autoria.

Algumas de seus discos, como o CD "Jazz Originals” e "Look What I Found" (foto) receberam critica positiva e promoção no exterior. Começou nos anos 70 com um trio que se apresentava no Jilly’s e muitos bares de jazz que na época, pontilhavam por toda Ilha de Manhattan.

Continua ativa e muito requisitada na noite novayorquina.

Dela disse o lendário Benny Carter –“ Ela possuiu os sentimentos do compositor e se mantém fiel ao seu canto e swing”.

A sparkling mainstay of Manhattan nightlife, Daryl Sherman has been a fixture playing and singing for savvy New Yorkers, international visitors and dignitaries at the Waldorf Astoria’s famed Cole Porter Steinway. Equally at home in the worlds of jazz and cabaret, Sherman’s many recordings have received critical praise and airplay internationally. They are in regular rotation on Cable TV’s Music Choice and XM Radio. From her arrival in the mid-70s, with trio stints at Sinatra hang-outs like Jilly’s, Jimmy Weston’s or Eddie Condon’s, there’s hardly a jazz joint, supper club or hotel Daryl has missed.
She’s recently lauded for shows at the Algonquin’s Oak Room, Dizzy’s Coca Cola, Iridium Jazz Club and Feinstein’s At The Regency. Appearances with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra included workshops for their Essentially Ellington program. Joining forces with Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks, their Park Avenue Whirl had a month’s run at 59E59 Theater and later Feinstein’s. European tours include annual engagements at London’s Pizza On The Park, Pizza Express Soho, concerts in Wales, Leeds, Scotland, the Cork Jazz Festival in Ireland, Holland and Malaga, Spain. Jazz festival appearances include JVC in New York and Newport.
“In Sherman’s imaginary world, (London Times) Rodgers and Hart are still scribbling furiously, Duke Ellington is on the road again and 52nd Street has plenty of night life left.”“Effervescent and madly talented!” says Rex Reed.
Says Benny Carter: "She feels what the composer felt and is true to that in her singing and playing"
