London grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. She moved to Manhattan in 1980 and began teaching jazz vocals in 1984.[1]When I Look in Your Eyes (Motéma Music, 2007) was her first album as leader, recorded at Bennett Studios in Englewood, New Jersey. The album features bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Leroy Williams, along with pianists Lee Musiker and the late John Hicks. "Let's Fly", London's second Motema release, features the title song written by Annie Ross and Amy London, performed with pianist Tardo Hammer, bassist Santi Debriano and drummer Steve Williams. "Bridges", Amy London's retrospective, was released in 2017, and features Fred Hersch, Bob Mintzer, Dr Lonnie Smith, Darmon Meader and more. London can also be heard singing alto with the New York Voices on Robert Lepley's "Visions Within," narrated by Meryl Strep. London sang in the six Tony Award-winning and Grammy nominated musical City of Angels from 1989 to 1992. She helped start the vocal jazz BFA program at The New School in 1992, at Jazz House Kids in 2013 and is an adjunct professor as well at City College (CUNY>). London has led vocal jazz clinics at jazz camps around the world.[2] In 2015, London produced The Royal Bopsters Project (Motéma), an album that gathered a group of musicians to pay homage to vocalese singers, earning 4 and a half stars from the major jazz periodical Downbeat Magazine, and a video feature in the Wall Street Journal.[1] The group consists of Amy London, Holli Ross, Dylan Pramuk, and Darmon Meader, now replaced by Pete McGuinness. Accompanying them on the album was a royal generation of bop vocalists: Mark Murphy, Annie Ross, Jon Hendricks, Sheila Jordan, and Bob Dorough.[3] Discography
