Denise Thimes is a St. Louis native, Jazz Vocalist and Recording Artist. Over the course of a multi-faceted career spanning just a little under three decades, Denise has performed with such jazz notables as Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Clark Terry, Dr. Billy Taylor, Earl May, Benny Powell, and James Moody. She has also graced the stage with the likes of Houston Person, Jimmy & Tootie Heath, Bobby McFerrin, and Bucky Pizzarelli. In recent years Denise has appeared and toured Paris with David Sanborn, sung for the Queen of Thailand, Queen Elizabeth II at the British Embassy-Washington D.C., President George W.

When Denise is not performing, she wears another hat and is equally passionate as Founder & Executive Director of the Mildred Thimes Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research. www.denisethimes.com
