The sextet hits Cornelia St. Cafe & more - January 22, 2011

The Tammy Schffer Sextet returns to Cornelia St. Cafe this Tuesday, for a double bill with the incredible Seung-Hee. This is always a special occasion for us- the great acoustics, the attentive listeners and the beautiful atmosphere make Cornelia one of the best venues for creative live music in the city.

Much more is coming next month- I'll be performing in NYC & Israel with Vadim Neselovskyi Trio, Josh Davis Group, Russ Spiegel's Jazz Orchestra and a special Israeli collaboration with pianist Oren Sela and vocalist Lee Gaon. And... there's a new video coming up in the beginning of February, of yet another crazy Eyal Amir production!

A new Youtube project is up! - October 28, 2011

Let us know what you think, we'd love to get your feedback!

Mom, I'm on the radio! - October 27, 2011

During last week's tour I met with WICN's Joe Zupan for a chat about music, the joys of being a band leader and life in general. You can listen to the interview by clicking here.

In the meanwhile, David Ricket from All About Jazz was listening to my album, and wrote: "a beautifully pure voice... an unerring sense of rhythm. the kind of album that might draw you in while at the same time making you wonder what Scheffer will do next." Click here to check out the full review!

A tour so nice, why not play it twice? - September 10, 2011

PRISM gig coming soon- reserve your tickets!- February 1, 2010
Prism is a new and exciting vocal septet I have the pleasure to be a part of. In the words of jazz vocalist Dominique Eade: “Hearing any one of these innovative young singers live would be a treat, but to have their impressive talents combined in one group gives a glimpse of the future of vocal jazz group singing. Not to be missed.” Click here for tickets!
