This eclectic Jersey City based group is the brain child of lead singer
and flutist Stefanie Seskin, a recipient of ASCAP's ASCAPLU$ songwriter
award in the "Popular" category since 2001. blue number nine,
formed at the end of 1995, is the largest project of this music maker
since childhood, whose own blood-line of professional artists includes
her grandfather, Fred Skerritt. Skerritt played with some of jazz's
greats during his time with Machito's Afro Cuban Orchestra in the 1940's
and his love of a strong rhythm layered with the melodic flavor of
many cultures is a foundation strongly infused in his granddaughter.
Seskin's strong stage presence is due not only to years of playing
music, but also to her dance training and natural athletic ability -
and lest anyone think Stefanie is solely a creature of music and movement,
she also holds a Master's Degree in Communications. This combination
of the aesthetic and the intellectual makes her a dynamic songwriter,
creating music that you can think about and dance to.
