Electric violinist Cathy Morris has a passion for
sharing music with audiences of all ages and everyone can tell! With a presentation that virtually commands the listener's eyes as well as their
ears, she conveys
her genuine enthusiasm for music and life! Combining contemporary jazz spiced with Latin rhythms, funk grooves and some Cajun fun she has created her own distinctive
sound that she calls "Party Jazz"!
She has four recordings of original music and a holiday CD
all of which exhibit the variety
of styles and endless boundaries of musical adventures one can take with Cathy.
A regular on concert
stages, at clubs and summer festivals
it is her educational commitment that puts her
in front of
thousands of children each year
performing convocations, conducting workshops,
residencies and clinics
and guest appearing with student and community orchestras playing her arranged originals.
Currently, after over
a decade of focusing on all original music,
Cathy is adding to her expertise
(and library of recordings) her interpretation
of the Latin jazz of Tania Maria, Airto, Djavan and others.
"Her music is great for all ages,
she really rocked Warren!"

"If you were to take a combination of exuberance and enthusiasm,
toss in an uncanny ability to communicate verbally and musically and spice it up with some rosin
and a bow you would wind up with Cathy Morris."
- Chuck Workman, WTPI
Sunday Morning Jazz Show
"A
new jazz sound that's out of sight.
She was the perfect opener for Chuck Mangione!"
- Marc Bowell,
IPRDF
"Cathy Morris has created a nearly perfect blend of Latin rhythms, jazz and
pop on her latest disc . . . From the first track to the last, she rewards those along for the ride"
